Tensile Steel Reinforcing following a massive u/ground work under the road outside my home. Made for the Steely guy, Foreman etc. Ed Brown Exotic Blanks ran with it producing kits called the Hay-Bar Blank Sierra my original I used Slimline brasses inside, they used softer bending Reo Bar.

Kind regards Peter.
