showing how to do the crimp type splice. it ends up being the same diameter as the original wire. at lunch i will try to post the photos here if i can figure it out, got to get back to work now.

in order to maximize the use of your cloth wire you do need to make the connections as close as possible to where the cloth wire enters the structure, making multiple splices necessary as you illustrated.
