Teufelberger Sirius Bull Rope instructions

[Ledburyjosh]

Hi,

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction of some splicing instructions for Sirius bull that is done in Fid lengths?

 

I have found the instructions on teufelbergers website but it gives set measurements to go on rather than fid lengths. 

As I want to make a smaller eye than the one they give instructions im trying to convert them, which makes sense apart from mark 1-2 as I cant seem to find a common fid length this would relate to across the rope diameters. 

 

I have this so far:

 

End to A: 1 FID

A to B: EYE SIZE

B-C: 1/3 FID

 

1-2: ?

2-3: 1 FID

 

What is the missing mark 1 to 2 length in Fids?

 

Thanks

Why are you using fid lengths? Surely if you have the measurements there you can just make the eye a bit smaller?

Been a couple of years since I've spliced anything mate, Tommy is your best bet

Fid length is consistent across all ropes as the fids get bigger as the ropes do.

 

A rule of thumb is a short fid mark is 7 times rope diameter

Long fid is 14 times rope diameter 

A full fid is 21 times rope diameter 

 

If you were doing 16mm rope, a short fid would be 112mm

Full fid would be 336mm and so on.

 

The marks are just there to save you having to do maths really

Sirius Bull rope is just Double braid C1 splice.

 

The measurements that you've found from Teuflebeger are right, you don't need to change any of them if you want a smaller eye. Just make the eye marks smaller and do everything else the same and you're fine 

 

(Unless I'm not understanding the question)

Yes that answers my questions just right. Thank you.

 

I was just unsure if I could adjust the eye size from what they give you and still use the remaining measurements.

 

Thanks again

Thanks for the help. 3 splices completed
