Can anyone tell me what the measurments are for the length of the front and back copper wire for PDL2 Beams? Also what is the distance between the marks that must be placed on the copper wire to line up on the 4 radials? I can't remember how far to spread these marks out to keep everything even when instaling the copper wire on the front and the back of the beam. Thanks for your help.

Hi Keith,
the distance is starting at one end,
114.5"-229"-343.5"-458" to get all four marks.

Make sure you are not off by more than1/16 of an inch, this is critical.

Hope this helps, and make sure you stretch the wire.

oh, I forgot to give the measurement from the holes on radials, measure from one hole in the radial down along the radial across the hub and to other hole , this measurement should be 13ft-6inch.
hope I explained it so you understand.
