Component geometry

A flattened elongated top joins two short mounting supports. The rounded top edges provide the visible rope-contact form.

Material and manufacturing route

The stainless steel blank is produced by investment casting. Secondary machining completes the functional interfaces identified in the component drawing. Material identity, supply condition and acceptance requirements are agreed for the ordered component.

Finished interfaces

The support bases and mounting holes are machined to the connection drawing. Surface finish and load validation are separate acceptance requirements.
