specs for re-usable soft links

[skyfreek 1]

hey!
i`v tried to search this out, but couldn`t find what i`m looking for. i want to try to make re- usable soft links, and was wondering if anyone has actual measurements and where to stitch,etc. i`m not looking for peeps to post that slinks are only $25, BLAH BLAH .

ANYONE??

Jerry Baumchen has instructions for making slinks. It's a 10MB file so I can't upload it. Give Jerry a PM or shoot me an email and I'll send it to you.

What do you mean by "re-usable"? Aren't they already?

The store bought soft links are. The old school rigger made soft links were sewn and not re-usable.

some that i have seen are a sewn loop, that has to be cut off if you want to remove canopy. i`m looking for something like pd slinks..

It is easier to copy the soft links made by Flight Concepts or Hyper USA.
Those soft links dispense with metal rings or cloth tape tabs and just use large, ugly knots.

If you can wait until Wednesday, I will measure the jig in my loft and post the dimensions.

Jerry -

I have your plans and already sent them to Dave (skyfreek).

Thanks nonetheless!
