Title: line clips for hard point handles
Post by: George Waters on July 17, 2009, 10:48:08 AM
Does anyone sell different length clips to adjust your hard point setups. I know i could buy or make the tool to do this but I'd like to just buy a few for now. George

There is one better: make your own!

Just get the clip bender from Lee's Machine Shop: http://stunthanger.com/smf/index.php?topic=6425.0

It takes a total of 10 seconds to bend a clip. I bent myself a set in just 10 minutes. Amazing tool that's worth every penny.

Good one, Derek! See ya next weekend in Canada...eh!!!

FWIW, when I sat down and made a batch of clips using the Derek jig from Jim Lee, I screwed up! I made two in every length, 1/16" increments, from short to ridiculesly long. The long ones were a waste of wire! I'd suggest making the longest ones no more than 1/4" or maybe 5/16" over the "stock" length (Brodak & Sullivan clips).  y1 Steve
