Jimmy Green Rigging Team Finished Length Advisory
The website will accept a length to 3 decimal points. However, this is not always practicable.
The Jimmy Green Rigging Team aim for a bearing edge to bearing edge measurement accurate to within + or - the diameter of the wire.
All adjustable end fittings will be set at the 2/3 open position unless otherwise requested.
However, Jimmy Green Marine will only accept responsibility for bearing edge to bearing edge measurements to within 2 x + or - the diameter of the wire

Additional Notes for your Custom Build
You can add a note for your own benefit or to advise the Rigging Team of a specific requirement.
This note will appear in the product description in your basket
Common examples:
- Add a name for identifying your selection
- Request a terminal that is not in the custom build drop down menu
- Request a Talurit loop length
Jimmy Green Additional Fitting Advisory
When a fitting is requested from outside the custom build process, it will be assumed that the finished length is measured to the bearing edge of the additional fitting(s)
In other words, the finished length will include any shackles, hooks or fittings.
The same principle applies to special requests for different lengths of loop.
The Jimmy Green Rigging Team Finished Length Process for Wire Rigging
- Terminate one end
- Secure the terminal to the bearing edge pin in the measurement trough
- Lay the wire out straight against the fixed tape measure
- Calculate and mark a. the turning point for talurit eye splice or b. the cut-off point for a roller swaged terminal at the other end of the wire
- Estimate the length to add or deduct (talurit or roller swage process) and cut accordingly
- Complete the second termination
- Check the finished length against your order.

The terminal price includes the talurit or roller swaging process
Bearing Edge to Bearing Edge:
The picture shows examples for the Bearing Edge - The point from which your measurements will be taken.
Measurements on Swaged Studs will be from the extreme end of the thread.
The Jimmy Green Rigging Team aim to produce your rigging within a tolerance of + or - the diameter of the wire.
All adjustable end fittings will be set at the 2/3 open position unless otherwise requested.
The pictures below show examples for the Bearing Edge - The point from which your measurements will be taken.
Measurements on Swaged Studs will be from the extreme end of the terminal:
Stud terminals generally require an absolute minimum clearance diameter hole in the stanchions for them to pass through without getting stuck or meeting awkward resistance:
4mm diameter wire - the absolute minimum clearance diameter hole = 8mm
5mm diameter wire - the absolute minimum clearance diameter hole = 9.5mm
6mm diameter wire - the absolute minimum clearance diameter hole = 13mm
The Jimmy Green Rigging Team have collated and listed the actual stud dimensions published by the manufacturers in a chart:
DETAILED DIMENSIONS FOR GUARDWIRE SWAGE STUD TERMINALS
Glossary
RS = Rigging Screw
1/4 or similar refers to UNF thread size

The Jimmy Green Rigging Team suggest a 200mm - 250mm (8''-10") gap, if you are using lanyards to secure one end.
