Or look in the yellow pages for a place that does rigging. In the Los
Angeles area, I use VER Sales, but there are places all around that do
this kind of thing. google for something like "rigging wire rope <your
city>" and you'll likely find a place that does it.
If you're really, really confident of the dimensions, etc. , you could
probably mail order it from one of the big suppliers
