Or perhaps a San Diego jumper who discovered a whole box of them in an old rigging loft. (If anyone needs any, PM me!)

Hi pops,
You've got me scatching my head.
How about posting a pic or two of them side by side?
Or measuring them with a caliper and posting the results.

Jerry,
I can have a pic in a day or two but I did measure the rings (all measurements in 16th-inch)

Rig#1
'94 Jav J3
Harness ring: ID: 1 5/16
Large riser ring: ID: 14/16 OD: 1 4/16

Rig#2
'97 Jav J4
Harness ring: ID: 1-12/16
Large riser ring: ID: 1 5/16 OD: 1 10/16

From this you can see that the Rig#2 riser ring will not go through the Rig #1 harness ring.

My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Hi pops,

You may have a small 3-ring harness ring (mini-risers type) on one rig and a large 3-ring harness ring (standard type) on the other rig.

I took one of each 3-ring harness rings out of my stock and measured the I.D. of each:

1. Large harness 3-ring / #445 (by DJ Associates):

measures 1 3/4" on the I.D. (you would list this as
1 12/16:

2. Small harness 3-ring (mini-riser type) / #444 (by DJ Associates):

measures 1 5/16" on the I.D.

That leads me to believe that your Rig #1 has the small (mini) 3-ring harness ring and that your Rig #2 has the large (standard) 3-ring harness ring.

Anybody else with a thought on this?

Jerry

PS) On a large (standard) 3-ring harness ring the sides of the 'D' ring go straight up to where the '0' is formed. On a small (mini-type) 3-ring harness ring the sides of the 'D' ring go up but taper towards the center (makes it look somewhat like a triangle with a round apex).

Does anyone know if its possible to change the large rings of the three ring circus on a fully articulated harness from type 8 to type 17 or viceversa. What would be involved, how much would it cost and who could do it (rigger, manufacturer etc)?

Thanks.

Let's just call them a three ring rather than a three ring circus...

Cheers,
Travis
