Insert the element 10 cm and lock it with the outer bands of rubber sleeves. support C Fig.
  • Page 8 The two collars are joined by a fiberglass rod (fig.6) that mechanically binds the upper to the lower element, this is necessary to maintain the uniform geometry of the loop and at the same time it distributes the string support to the lower element. The fiberglass rod is fixed to the supports by means of one of the 4 locking bolts (page 9 - fig.
  • Page 9 8) ROPE MOUNTS Fig.9 Fig.7 Fig.8 A MastrAnt P kit of ropes of suitable length is provided for the construction of the tie rods.
