wire core flipline isc biner replacement?

[shillo]

the isc swivel snap hook gate just won't quite shut properly, ive attacked it with the air line even put it in dishwasher to no avail. the flip line is only a year old so don't really need to buy another flip line, are there any equivalent swivel biners that can be attached to the spliced eye on the flip line if I cut the knackered one off, I can't find anything, thinking that I would have to go separate swivel and biner which would probably cost as much as a new flip line.

I just angle ground mine off and put a standard biner on.

 

 

[shillo]

yea I was going to do that but do you miss the swivel?

 

[Mick Dempsey]

Which end do you mean?

[jfc]

I attach my snap hook with a maillon to my flip line. Maillon cost about a fiver. J.

Anyway, I don’t think you need a swivel on the ‘not permanently clipped in end’ but it’s better on the thing that slides along the rope, I used a maillon link to attach a swivel to that.

 

(hope picture helps)

No, other end, ive got a art positioner for adjustment side. You can see in the pic that is where the gate want to rest but obviously not closed or locked, I can push it locked.

Do you get on ok with just the carabiner?

[Mick Dempsey]

Yes, it’s the permanent attachement end that causes problems without a swivel.

 

You can (as others have said) use a maillon to attach the swivel biner on the non permanently attached end.
