Frenchy I think it was 3/32 galvanized cable, bought it and some crimps at Lowes,its like that cable they chain down store displays with.
Ileft enough slack to snag it with my finger and it all tucked up behind the center part of the grille,the pics don't show it but I painted the cable and crimps flat black. the cable is a lot smaller than it looks somebody thought I took it off a winch.

Another pool table in someone's home going to waste. I will be in Detroit this coming Sat. for a week. I may have to bring it back to a good home here in sunny southern California. Think it will fit for carry-on?

Oh, it gets used a LOT...I just had no where else in my house that I could really do it on.

Dad's getting mad at me, that it's still a mess. [8D]

Looks good. I'd probably painth the mesh and the front radiator black so it's not soooo see through.
