Looking for a rigger

[KindredSpirit 0]

Are there any riggers out there who can re-size a harness so it is smaller?
Preferably in Canada.

I know Master Riggers can do it, but why not just send it to the manuf.?

I am an FAA Master Rigger and I live in Canada (albeit on the opposite coast) and I worked at the Talon factory for three years.

Start by asking a local tailor to measure you as if you were ordering a new Talon, then FAX the order form to Rigging Innovations (in Eloy, Arizona) along with the serial number of the Talon you want re-sized. Explain that you are considering purchasing a used Talon and would like some advice on re-sizing it. Reassure R.I. that the sewing will be done by a Master Rigger.

Though it still might be cheaper to visit a Master Rigger in New England.

I have contacted R.I. and they gave me a price (over $400US).
It's just that I don't think it's worth putting that much money into a 10 year old container.
Just looking to see if I can get it done a bit cheaper in Canada to avoid the exchange rate.

Talon 1.

$400 bucks seems rather high. The entire harness can be replaced for that much. Shortening the lift web on an original Talon with a fixed harness should take about an hour.

The lower junction needs to be unstitched moved up and re-sewn. There's a little more to it than that but not much.
