Because I'm paranoid about the possibility of my forestay turnbuckle gradually working its way loose and shearing through the cotter pins, I'd like to forego the cotter pins and use seizing wire instead, as I read here a while back.

Our local West Marine doesn't carry it... any ideas on what other kinds of stores to check? What other industries might use this stuff?

Thanks!

Never mind! Found it at West Marine after all... just wasn't looking hard enough.

I bought a 1 lb spool of SS wire from harbor frieight that I use all the time on the boat. Other than chip brushes, it is the only thing I have bought from Harbor Freight that was not a disappointment.
