Method 2
Wind a length of soft annealed wire around the wire rope at
least seven times. Twist the two ends together in the center
of the seizing. Tighten the seizing by alternately prying and
twisting. Cut off both ends of the wire and pound the twist flat
against the rope (Figure 1-7).
NOTE: Non-preformed wire rope should have two seizings
located on each side of the cut (Figure 1-8).
