Flexible tendons - so the woven wire is what I want.
Are there little ferrule thingees with threads on the outside but hollow inside
(like a hollow screw) that I can use as guides for
the wires to keep from wearing down plastic, etc. ? What would they be called ?
Where would a local source be for those ?
Thanks !
