Default wire rope fittings?


"JimK" wrote in message
...
concerted effort to defeat squirrels scoffing bird feed..

strung a 2mm diameter wire rope between two trees from which to
suspend assorted feeders etc...

However said rope is not level so anything hung on it will slide so I
need some way to anchor the feeders, preferably by creating "stops"
past which they can't slide??

I'm sure I've seen some kind of small "C" section clamps that I could
just slip sideways onto the wire rope and secure by tightening a small
bolt/grub screw - but I can't remember where I saw them or what the
rest of the world would use them for to start to look! -

Anyone know what I've seen? boats? wire track lighting?

Any other ideas?

Cheers

What about jubilee also known as hose clips and if that is not enough a
piece of metal secured between the wire and the hose clip and bent at 90
degrees. Cheap and no need to disconnect the wire.
