			When I replaced mine a few years ago I used 5/8" three strand.  I greased up the rubber part with dawn dish soap and spread the flanges with the knobbed end of a craftsman screwdriver handle as I went along inserting the rope. Be sure to leave it "long" for a while hanging in the splash well as it will shrink up after some time.  Afterwards tape up the ends and cut off the excess.
