When I was getting started. I asked a similar question and got directed to

I used the Loos gauge to achieve ~10% of max load for each wire. Since

numbers may be irrelevant.without the gauge, I would be guessing and
from experience, that's not a very accurate way to know how much tension
is on the shrouds.
If you have rod rigging, the tension should never exceed
Does anyone know off hand the diameter of the rod used on 33-2
