I just finished re cabling a tri sky needle the 100 ft  version I did  get 
some help in the way of drawing from Tashjian Towers who are building the  
old Tri EX needle Towers But not Much and not very Timely . You need a Wire 
Rope  Dealer . If you have a local crane operator ask them there required to 
replace  their cables quite often ,there also a good source on re rigging 
the new cable .  My tower required 150ft of cable and 29 ft section this was 
7/19 aircraft cable  rated at 14400 They now have a SSI but does not have the 
same strength best was  10500.00 SSI is much more brittle than galvanized 
cables . I could gone wider  but elected too stay with the gal cable . That 
was installed in 1967 
 
My locale wire rope dealer is just over the river the link is here 
_http://www.kwrinc.com/_ (http://www.kwrinc.com/) 
 
They can crimp installed the eyes for you . they also have all the data  
sheets . Mc master Carr is a good source for finding the impossible ,but you  
will pay a premium. I used them for a replacement hand winch.
