537 according to my old docs, both wires are the same. Pre-streched and marked at each 9'6.5" to a total lenght of 458" allowing some end material to make attachment to the elements.

All center elements should be fixed and the outer elements are noted to be 43-11/16" from center of hole in the aluminum tip on the fiberglass pieces. Place a mark at this point and then insert these elements into the center fixed elements to the mark. If there are all metal end piece elements too, then use the same measurements.

What ever the complete element measures will be a only a starting point. You should adjust them evenly to make the wires tought, without sagging or bowing of the wire element.

That is the best I can do. I don't see how you could put one of these together without the docs.

Self-reliance is always a wonderful thing when all is said and done, right?
