Modifying harness.

[Dan Curtis]

This is the route i'd go

 

Me too. Edelrid connect-o's work a treat when you want to replace the rings. Mine is loler'd like it too

Hi all.

 

I have the Komet Butterfly harness and I'm thinking of replacing the shackles that hold the bridge on to the gold rings that are used on the Petzl Sequoia. Can anyone see a problem with doing this and is it 'allowed' to be done?

 

Cheers, Jake

 

Any particular reason why? The shackles are great.

 

I think Kent James is right the harnesses CE will no longer stand as you have modified it beyond original spec.

As a personal note as long as the mod is suitable I can not see a problem with the harness still being fit for use....

Yeah there is a reason, on my bridge I have a swivell and a large ring. I have my main line in the swivel and my side line on the large ring. When i have both lines in (so when cutting) the large ring sometimes sits around the shackle instead of on the bridge itself.

so replace the large ring with something slightly smaller.....

^ This, with my old dragonfly I had 3 rings 2 small with the large in the middle, both small rings would not go over the shackles and allowed me to have a second attachment either side and you will not alter the harness from original spec.

Alternatively attach onto the swivel ring that slides on the bridge leaving the swivel part free for secondary attachments, particularly good with DMM a axis.
