gstukey 0 #1 July 3, 2006 I am looking for some up close pics or specific instructions for routing the pull-up cord/packing tool cord around the closing pin on a Mirage G3 container in order to prevent "burn" on the closing pin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenneth21441 0 #2 July 3, 2006 Best response see your local rigger/ or instructor. Other then that simply take one free running end of the pull up cord under your main pin then tug on it slightly to have the rest of the pull up cord go under the pin. The pull up cord should be under the pin. The closing loop should be in contact with the pin. then slowly pull on one end of the pull up cord to remove the pull up cord. Remember to replace the closing loop if and when it gets worn (Safety). I usually rub bees wax into the closing loop area every so often and replace at least once a year or every 3 or 4 months. Sure is cheaper then having it come open during climb out etc....Kenneth Potter FAA Senior Parachute Rigger Tactical Delivery Instructor (Jeddah, KSA) FFL Gunsmith Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
