Tension Gauge for 1/2" wire

[Dennis1]

I'm a newbie to the forum, but I did a search of "tension gauge" and found 4 threads, but none to direct me where I can find a tension gauge for 1/2" wire. I think I own just about everything in Brion's catalog now **smile**, but he just doesn't resell any tension gauges ... yet ....

Loos doesn't sell anything large enough (I already own their gauge for the largest wire they measure) and I'm looking for a tension gauge to measure my 1/2" wire upper shrouds. I'm not leaving the dock anytime soon, but I'd like to get a good dock tune. Who knows, maybe outfitting will run faster than I think and I'll actually go sailing - I appreciate any and all help.

I seem to recall that Brion mentioned "Hanes/Haines/??" as manufacturing a tension gauge for larger wire in the "Tuning Your Rig" video, but I'm just not finding this name with Google for some strange reason - probably just misspelling it ...

Thanks for the help !!
