Rigging fittings
« on: January 18, 2015, 01:41:07 pm »
I am looking for something similar to the fittings shown in the picture and would be grateful for any ideas as to where to source such items. I have tried googling "swivels" and got absolutely nowhere.
The picture comes from Dan's RC boats build blog of the Waveney lifeboat.

Thanks Shaun
