I need to replace the wire rope/cable on my UST TRX-80HD, which I use with
an HDX-555. The cable got bent (long story) and I?m concerned that it?s
structural integrity has been compromised. Better safe than sorry.

Does anyone know the specs for the rope? It?s ΒΌ? and believe it?s galvanized
(vs stainless), but I don?t know the length (absent pulling and measuring
it), strength to look for (if there is such a spec) or anything else to look
for in a replacement. I called UST but they won?t release any information
about it. I can order a replacement kit but aside from the expense, there?s
at least an 8 week lead time. Any guidance would be appreciated.
