Default Thimbles for 1x19 1/4'' splices
Hello,
I am relatively new to splicing, now thinking about trying it for real... The solid bronze thimbles I've found on the internet are, however, relatively expensive. How bad are SS enclosed thimbles?
Thanks for advise
Petr

If thw wire you're splicing is Stainless, then stainless thimbles are fine. If the wire is galvanized, stick wuth galvanized thimbles. It is best to keep similar metals together.

Many thanks. My wire will be SS 6mm. What about the forces that might flatten the thimble? I have no idea how much can SS thimbles take? Apprentice recommends solid thimbles to deal with this issue. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks Petr

Hello,
do you think that SS thimbles could take such loads?
Many thanks
Petr
