Replacing coradge on OD thimble prussik

[Quintanana]

Any suggestions for 7mm replacement cordage? Don't have to replace yet but thinking ahead.

Found Robline Coppa 5000. 24 strand DB w/ technora/poly cover and 12 strand dyneema core. 7mm/5291 mbs.

Sounds good to me but still searching...

NE makes a 7mm dyneema double braid with 8800 lbs break strength for the marine industry, as well as a single braid that exceeds 18k lbs. Not sure how helpful that is.

Is this the item you're talking about?

Is the thimble so tight on the 7mm cord that it wouldn't be possible to use 8mm dyneema cord as a replacement? Something like this? https://www.sailingchandlery.com/products/8mm-dyneema-cruise-rope "This rope has an average breaking strain of 2,100kgs."

What knot will you use join the ends of the replacement cord to make the loop?

That's the one. I'm not sure if you can squeeze an 8mm cordage in there but I'd like to keep it as slim as possible esp when tying dbl fishermans like Jonny pointed out.

I think that's the same thimble that comes on the 8 mm Ocean Poly thimble loop. The DMM thimbles come in 6, 8, 10, and 12 mm sizes.

A triple fishermen’s is usually recommended for dyneema and other hi-tech cords and ropes.
The Coppa 5000 mentioned above is good as a hitch cord, comes in 9mm, also, derail over.
