pulleys

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was not thinking or referring to the U-bolt "cable fastener" in the current inventory list when I used that term.

What I was referring to was: Is a pulley considered in the class "fastener", such that we can go out and simply buy more, or do we have to make any additional pulleys we wish to use?

Difficulty, nor lack of creativity is not in question here. Yes we COULD make them. Our problem is TIME. As well as horribly under capitalized, we're *seriously* under staffed, with only a couple of students and a couple of advisors available at any one time to work on this project. We REALLY don't want to waste precious labor time recreating $1 hardware store items from scratch if we don't have to, and purchasing them is allowed.

We're substituting long hours for adequate personnel on this project (which is why I'm asking so darn many questions, and find myself posting at 1 AM *YET AGAIN*... <sigh>).

Bottom line: We just want to buy a few cheap pulleys rather than make them, if it is allowed.

I hope that clarifies the question.

Thanks!
