Hi Bill,
I made a very simple tensioning device out of some aluminum plate with 3
bolts, with the middle one being slightly offset. When I swaged the wires I
made one side a little short and put my tensioner in the other side. You
can see a picture of it at http://pma.obtero.net/may-00.html
Regards, Paul
