The main component of the aerials are the five groups of three insulator with two tensioners at each end, these are made first.
The rest is making lengths of rigging to go between these five sections.
The single forward aerial is made with the split to each side of the tower, and the looped centre line to the fixed tensioner in the tower is made with a small length of elastic thread.
The safety wires at the sides of the tower are fixed with the bottle screws and brass rings (they will darken with age).
On to the jumper wires from to the aerials to the tower, I'll wait till the aerials settle before tackling those.
