Stiff tether

[launchster]

Due to my inability to splice and dislike of spending money, this is my homemade stiff tether. 8mm hitch cord, with a fishermans knot at each end. Stiffened with a piece of hose and tidied up with gaffa tape. Seems to work well at the min:thumbup1:

Make sure that the wrench doesn't interfere with the knot as it looks short. Top marks for effort though mate!

Gotcha, i know what you're saying. I think its just about ok, but i will double check. Just started playing with srt, think its going to take a little while to adjust, but its exciting! Cheers

I think it should be at least double the length.....

I attach it to my hitchclimber with a second krab in the top hole, so that adds another 4" or so, probably should have taken the photo with that. I noticed since you said,that alot of people tend to have them connected straight to the hitchclimber via the krab that the hitch is tied to so are longer. Might try that

You'll find it works better if you do as there is less slop in the system.

Ok cool, i see what you mean. Version 2 coming up! Thanks

[mistahbenn]

And hence the reason for being a stiffy, no slop!

Where can I buy one of those?! I badly need to get a dislike of spending money.
