BBKid 0 #1 September 17, 2004 Just got my new kill-line PC, and I'm not too sure about the canopy attachment part. The bag stop part is sorted, but I think I might need to do something else to secure the actual bridle/canopy attachment. Also, is it OK to attach to the fabric loop on the canopy, or does it have to go onto the metal ring?? Thanks for your help, I really should have asked the suppliers to enclose some instructions but hey, I was being cocky! Nick --------------------------- "I've pierced my foot on a spike!!!"

freeflyfree 0 #2 September 17, 2004 besides tightening the rapide link with pliers (with your hands first, then half a turn with the pliers) I would say you're good to go...and yes it's supposed to be attached at the fabric loop.

BBKid 0 #4 September 17, 2004 Thanks guys! I knew about the tightening the links, but wasn't about to do that before checking I'd done it the right way. I'll have my rigger check out the whole lot when she installs my cypres (when I get one). Nick --------------------------- "I've pierced my foot on a spike!!!"

diablopilot 2 #5 September 17, 2004 That picture is hooked up correctly. Now take the twists out of your kill line before you cause premeture wear and shrinkage. The ring is just a stopper.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pattersd 0 #6 September 17, 2004 I can't quite tell from the photo, but it looks like you do not have the rapide link through the loop at the end of the kill line. Both the kill line loop and the tape loop should be engaged by the rapide link. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teason 0 #7 September 17, 2004 Pliers? You mean a wrench. Tightening with pliers can cause sharp edges and damage the fabric. I know what you mean but others may notI would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.

BBKid 0 #8 September 17, 2004 It's not a loop at the end of the kill-line, the line is actually stitched in to the red tape (don't know the technical term for this). The excess red tape you can see simply runs the length of the kill-line (when extended), and the meets the bridle at the bag/bridle attachment point. Oh, and the kill-line isn't actually twisted, it's the reduced quality of the photo to get it under 60kb! Edit: I've added a detailed view of the kill line end, so you can see what I mean about there being no loop. Nick --------------------------- "I've pierced my foot on a spike!!!"
