Securing a galvanised wire rope to hollow concrete blocks

I can partially at least answer my own question. I've found these long threaded hooks:

which, with a sizeable washer, would do the job, I reckon.

Are they galvanised too? I recall being referred to a boat Chandler for stuff like this as tightening rigging is much like tensioning other things. Brian

Something like these?

You can get stainless stuff from a Chandler (and also from eBay)

They would be fine, though for the length I need to get through to the block cavity and fit a washer and a nut I'd have to go up to M10 for the bolt size. Not impossible, but pretty massive.

Thanks for the link.

They're described as "weatherproof" which is a tad ambiguous.

That's a very good point. Thanks, Brian.

I have some M6 eyes that I reckon would be long enough. However you can also get eyes with a female thread, that you could use with studding. Or you could use something like this

then a female to female coupler, then studding.

That would work nicely; thanks.

Yes, I have a number of those for my clothes line which goes between a block wall and the metal fence. Its easy to start with a small masonry drill do its accurate. I use dynabolts.

I wouldn't do it that way, the top course is too easy to pull off the wall.

A standard bolt with a metal plate inside the cavity will work there.
