Topic: shroads and stays

I am totally rehabing my 1986 co26 and would like to know what size stays and shrouds were stock with the Cinkel spars. The previous owner replaced the stock rigging with 1/4" ss. This is over size but I don't know by how much. I am convinced the design rigging is adequate. I, we, don't need any additional weight aloft.

Re: shroads and stays

original on my 74 was 3/16 wire.  i bought all new sta-loks for 7/32 wire, looking back i might as well have just bought 1/4".  1/4 won't add that much more weight aloft.  but i'm stuck with 7/32 when i get around to making a new rig
