According to the Banks guide, the uppers are 44-45 and the lowers are 45-46. I'm prepared for a "ton" of pressure but did you really mean 2000lbs? [Linked Image from j30.us]

On the Loos model "PT-2", the gauge maxes-out at 40 (2000lbs) and the model "B" maxes-out at 43 (1800lbs) for 1/4" shrouds.

The Loos guide suggests that the breaking strength of 1/4" stainless is 8200 lbs and that a starting tension for the forestay on a fractional rig is 15% of breaking strength or 1230lbs. The starting tension of the shrouds on a fractional rig with swept-back spreaders is 20% or 1640lbs.

Can someone comment on shroud tension in lbs instead of loose Loos #'s?
