Where to buy new line set?

[DShiznit 0]

I'm looking at getting a used Safire that possibly needs a new line set. If I were to tackle this project myself (which I'm pretty sure I can do, seen it done before), where would I find a Vectran line set for a Safire 189, and how much would I look at spending? I saw that several companies charge $150+ just for labor, that's quite a few jumps.

Any ideas?

I would ask directly to Icarus / your local Icarus dealer

The factory charges about $225 for a reline. Unless you have a bartack sewing machine its not worth trying to do it your self IMHO.

Man, talking about doing it by your self, I'm thinking on doing somethig like that , My friend in Bolivia needs a new set of lines for a Blue Track (Parachute de France) I plan on building the lines here leaving the side that will be attached to the canopy open then I'll just do a stichless finger trap as explained here
and that's it!....wait...hell no, is not gonna work, I just realized that as I was writing this post!!!

ok..I take a front line cascading to the A and B lines...It'll work only for the A lines and what about the B lines!....sorry for not erasing this post as I answered my own problem...

Does anybody have any ideas?


Now Waiiiit a minute....A car upholstery shop back home might have a bar tacking machine hmmm by the way I made my first rapelling harness at one of these shops when I was 17 Years Old, made out of seat belts...they do have powerful machines....
