The oval sleeves we use for rudder cable at Alder Creek are copper. This is not too bad to mix with stainless steel and is the marine industry standard for making eyes in SS wire. They come either copper colored or sometimes with a shinny coating. Maybe the shinny coated ones are what you are refering to as aluminium. Mixing aluminium and SS is a definite no-no. steve Alder Creek Kayak & Canoe N 45º 39' 47" 250 NE Tomahawk Isle Dr. W 122º 36' 16" Portland, OR 97217 Web: www.aldercreek.com Phone: 503.285.0464 Email: aldercreek_at_qwest.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
