A little something I bought earlier

[treedave]

I think the top one is a better idea with the two wagon straps as opposed to one strap.

 

I wonder if the single big wide strap on the GRCS is a bought in one or unique to the GRCS

 

I know that a Bill Moore makes straps to order with a choice of fittings, widths (up to 200 mm?) rings etc.

Might have other bits for the creation - his work shop is a right aladdins cave.

I had to modify mine, I made the rope guide stick out too far and it ended up tying itself in knots !

I'd go for 1 band rather than 2 ratchet straps (like mine) if I was making another 1 as it's a bit fiddly to put on. I still havent found any ali tube up to the job for the bollard yet ,but the search goes on! I also had to take the self tailer apart and put some spacers in so it would take the 16mm rope.

Any way it's sorted now and has been handy on a few jobs.

 

I've just taken delivery of a second hand main sheet block and jammer from a boat to use for speedline tensioning ,so no more serching for pulleys and tying knots in my rope .

Good luck with yours Dean .

Thanks for posting those pics Dave.

 

Apparently the working end of the rope has got to approach the pulley at a slight angle about 5 degrees to stop the binding up bit.

 

Mine has a max rope dia of 16mm so it should do fine.

 

I've been after a Sheet block and jammer / fiddle block for yonks now.

 

Never ending searches
