Danny,
Thanks for your answer about the collars but how did you got the clip to attach to the wire?
Did you use a collar for every clip?
So basically you used two collars per each wire?
Thanks.

I use collars that you use on RC planes. You can buy at a hobby shop, just find the right diameter… they look like this (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXD834&P=SM)

You did a very nice implementation of this chandeleer!
I have a couple of questions:
How do you prevent the clips from sliding down each rod?
Are the clips hanging by the little loop that you use to open the clip?
How do you prevent the rods from sliding through the wire mesh?
Thanks

I used heat shrink tubing for the tips… but in Black. Original is red.

Hi
The head of each rod has a kind of a tiny red cover. Is it painted red ? Or is it a plastic cover ? Where can i find some ?
Thanks

The rods I have and used are 36″ stainless steel rod/wire about .09mm thick. They are almost identical to the original rods used. There is a local lighting store that had the lighting up that I would study.

Hi
The rods you got, were they allready cut or did you cut them yourself ?
I’ve been to a couple of places and all they have is some sort of stainless steel rolls .045” by the lb, some kind of a wire. I don’t know what to do. The wire is too soft to me.
Thanks
