Well, today my team mate and I went to the Small Parts web site to order some stuff. We got most of it but the web site would not let us order Spectra Cable. It says that the product is not found. The part # we have is Y-MCS-750 for .060' 750lbs. spectra cable. Let me know if anyone can help us with our technical difficulty.

I expect to order some spectra cable within the next day or two. I'll keep you posted.

Beccy,

The catalog is a little vague for how to order cable. Look up another item such as aluminum tubing and you see that if you want 12' of R-LAT-35/6 the order number is R-LAT-35/6-12. Using this logic, I entered Y-MCS-750-25 and it was accepted as a 25 foot length of the cable you need.

Give it a try, and good luck!
