Where can I purchase replacement rigging for Vintage cat  Bottom

  • I'm the owner of a vintage cat (Taft Flying-T) I had a rigging cable fail and need to replace all 3. Any advice on vendors or process for measuring accurately?
  • Is there a local rigging shop that you can use?
    There are rigging shops up and down the east and west coast...so there might be one close to you.
    ***I try to support local businesses whenever possible!***

    If not, you can send your your broken wires (with fittings) with the specified lengths to West Marine:

  • You could also go with Dyneema which accommodates adaptable length and tension.

  • Call Murray's Marine in CA and see if they have specs on file. They have been rigging cats for decades.

  • Where are you located? You can determine length eye to eye with a couple of finish nails,a long enough board, and a tape measure.
    The last time I needed rigging I went with:

    I have also borrowed the necessary Nicopress tools and crimped my own. Is there a decent sized theater or stage rigging company in your area?
