[TowerTalk] Need sources of rope and fiberglass

[Charles Harpole]

Hope someone can refer me to a source for 
 
---very light weight, very strong (500 lbs. pull), non absorbent, sun resistant line/string/rope to use to internally guy a two element quad.
 
-- light weight 8 foot fiberglass rod or tube, at least 1 and half inch diameter.

 
Well, my quad broke today in a gale.  The wind estimater says speed was 50 to 56 mph based on small tree blown over, twigs and limbs down, and so on.  I am impressed that the grass in the lots beside and behind me ... grass about 2 ft tall, was blown completely flat, so he wind at actual ground level was bad, too.  Standard factory Cubex with factory stiffner... 2 el full size 40m, 2el on 30, and 3 el on other two WARC bands.  Really worked nice!
 
I made the mistake of not heading my quad West where the wind always comes from... I think because it hit it on an angle, one of the top two spreaders broke at about the half way point and all the wires of the driven element are drooping over the mess that is left.  The reflector, lacking he added load of the driven coax attached, survived.  I think the driven array also rotated on the boom and the whole thing could have been pushed back on the mast, it appears.
 
I had plans already of putting in 8ft extensions on the ends of the boom and tying the whole thing into a fully guyed internally.  I do not know how I can get another fiberglass spreader shipped here, it is very long, and I have only one fiberglass extension rod to do the strengthening so that is another part to find.
 
If you have suggestions on a very light very strong, sun resistant, non absorbing string, line, rope.... please let me know.  de HS0ZCW
