Default REPLACEMENT ROPE

i had few PM on my search for new rope for my broken one on my rope cocker..

i was everywhere trying to find a 3/16 nylon rope.

i could not find anything in that size with a breaking rate over 90# and most had to much streach.

so i ended up at hardware store and found 5/32 lawnmower pull rope which is biggest dia i could find in lawnmower rope.
they had it on spool for 15 cents foot.

it took around 5 ft for my horton.

i tried it today and so far it works good but time will tell..
for .75 cents it was better than buying new rope cocker.
also i wrapped the area where it goes around the stock with black electrical tape as this area is where my rope EXPLODED while cocking....

also i am going to change it more often if i see wear showing up..
