A new hybrid

[Tom D]

I left a ZigZag in the same bag as a Hitchclimber....

 

They must have mated!

[Pete Mctree]

Nice Tom, how well does it work?

[Tom D]

havent climbed on it yet, works fine as shown...

[Steve Bullman]

not really looked at mine Tom, is it just a nut and bolt to undo?

[Tom D]

No, its riveted, the rivet is 7or 8mm but the holes in the zigzag part are 10mm, there are a couple of collars inside which support the pulley. On the ZZHC I have just used a 10mm bolt and some washers for now, if it performs I'll machine up some spacer collars for that too.

To get it off file or grind or saw off the top of the rivet and knock out the rivet with a punch, its tight!

Like the look of that!

 

Someone said that the pulley on the zigzag was a bit too small, so this should solve that issue at least.

[Dean Lofthouse]

Shouldn't the zz bit be 180 degrees the other way Tom, so the finger thing is at the back

The bottom link doesn't look quite right either have you missed putting the rope through it?

[arbmansam]

Nice idea mate look foward to seeing how this couple get on

[MOG]

cool idea, does look like bottom link is out or wont go in? defo would solve the pulley issue. great thinking and work
