Squeak 17 #1 June 17, 2003 Has any one done a retrofit bridle cover for the older stlye Javelins, I have a '93 J1 and would like to put a bridle cover on it, anyone done this or have specs to do it??You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #2 June 17, 2003 The factory does this for only like $50. Cal lthem up and they should be able to talk to you or your rigger about it. Its a fairly simple mod if you've got a bartacking machine.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #3 June 17, 2003 Hi phreez, not an option mate, I live in Perth Westenrn Australia, just sghipping the rigg to them would cost a fortune, not to mention WAY WAY too much ground time I have a rigger here who is very competant, but says that to do any retro fit work you need specs?You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

PhreeZone 20 #4 June 17, 2003 Call the factory, they might be able to fax you the specs. Its not too hard of a mod, I've seen 2 rigs with it.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #5 June 17, 2003 I have retrofitted bridle-hider-flaps to a dozen older Javelins. I have also installed them on older Mirages and Vectors. I just copied the flap on a recent Javelin. An important consideration is extending the edge of the flap to the edge of the grommet stiffener. This prevents all by the worst idiots from stuffing too much bridle under the side flap.

My local Master Rigger did it for me when the rig was in for a reserve repack - I think he charged about US$10 (it was a while ago). Pretty simple mod.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeremyneas 0 #8 June 20, 2003 I had it done on my '96 J-1 with an aftermarket BOC. Even so, my local M.Rigger measured and made on the spot. It isn't complicated (to them, I'd fuck it up). J.Neas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
