Hook Eye Turnbuckle Thimble Swage Short Eye Bolt LRMM
Kit suits a run of wire of 10 meters or more (hence the LR or Long Run). This is because there are two tensioning points and two attachment points. attachments are two M6 x 1.0 x 15mm (Short) Mini Eye Bolts. Therefore, the bolts attach directly into metal posts (hence the MM or Metal to Metal).

Description
Hook Eye Turnbuckle Thimble Swage Short Eye Bolt LRMM kit suits a run of wire of 10 meters or more (hence the LR or Long Run). This is because there are two tensioning points and two attachment points. attachments are two M6 x 1.0 x 15mm (Short) Mini Eye Bolts. Therefore, the bolts attach directly into metal posts (hence the MM or Metal to Metal).
Application: The first end of the run has a 5mm Hook Eye Turnbuckle (for wire tensioning) swaged to the wire and this attaches to the first 15mm Eye Bolt. The Mini Eye Bolt fastens to a metal post or plate. The second end uses another 5mm Hook Eye Turnbuckle (for wire tensioning) swaged to the wire to attach to the second 15mm Mini Eye Bolt which is fastened to the second post or wall. Therefore, we recommend that the end posts are either drilled and tapped with an M6x1.0 thread or Rivet Nuts (rivnuts / nutserts) are installed. Nutserts are optional in this listing. Both Drill Taps and Nutsert tools and fasteners are available on this site. As well, wire may be installed through the intermediate posts and ‘cut to length’. Please make sure you expand the turnbuckles before measurement because it makes installation easier. Additionally, drill the intermediate posts out to at least 4mm prior to swaging in place if they are stainless steel. If your intermediate posts are a different alloy (e.g. aluminium or mild steel) – you will want to drill them out to 8.0mm and use standard grommets (prevents a galvanic or dissimilar alloys reaction).Additionally, build the wire before you install it, then the length of a wire run is determined by the ‘inside to inside’ post measurement less a fixed amount. The wire is therefore installed and adjusted properly because the fixed amount represents the distance between the attachment posts ‘taken up’ by the fittings.
