[TowerTalk] Pulley Recommendations?

[Chris BONDE]

I was going to suggest something similar.

A few years back my XYL wanted the Al awning for the front window (and bedroom 
window).  They came and were installed.  The control ropes went through ceramic 
rings.  For the little use they receive, about 6 times a year at the most.  They work 
very well.  Now how to obtain some is beyond me.  I have tried some of the outlets 
nearby but to no avail.  Maybe in a bigger centre.
