Never got an answer here but that worked out for the best.  I went to a local steel fabrication shop and paid an expert to install the clamps for me.  I made duplicates of the hanging brackets with chain for right at $10.  I used idea I learned on this post to use hockey pucks on the cable for spacers.  Materials included chain, cable, cable clamps, rubber sleeves for cable, stainless steel s-hooks.

Incidentally, when the guy from the steel fabrication shop saw the assembly of cable, chain, hockey pucks, and plastic tubing he asked what in the world it was used for.  I told him that the most I could tell him that it had something to do with my wife and the bedroom.

I just use chain, spaced with tennis balls.  I use the same size chain that comes with the stand, and an "s" hook.  The wedge lays over the chain links just fine, and self-aligns, or "turns" the link.  I was afraid of self-installed cable clamps.

bama sorry no response but you can buy a tool to install the clamps and a 1/4 clamp will hold a couple thousand pounds. I just use the screw down type and when ya double the coated cable into them, I have never had one pull apart. I make mine now for around $5 total cost. Shawn

Doug do a search for them.(Chippewa Wedge-Loc) They are a treestand that has a wedge-loc that slides into these brackets and secures them to a tree due to the wedge it tightens as ya push down on the stand.  I own two of them and have over 40 stand sites with these brackets. Shawn

How high do you go up the tree generally Shawn.  I would guess that you move the steps to the stand you wish to hunt each day, right?  I like the looks of these stands!  I'm a big ole boy @315#.

Thanks Shawn.  Its a great stand, but the retail price of the extra brackets seemed a little stiff when you want a large number of them.  We built a dozen of them.  The steel fabrication plant charged $2 per stand to install the cable clamps but I must say I feel more comfortable having them professionally installed.
