Title: Line Connectors
Post by: John Witt on March 30, 2010, 05:33:27 PM

Anyone know a good source for the loop type line connectors. I need some for a 50 lb pull test for my Jenny. Brodak no longer lists them in their catalog. Don't want the kind with the sliding clip.

Thanks,

John W

Melvin Schuette lists them (3 sizes of "Squeeze Type" connectors) -

He has lots of neat stuff.

I have an official Jim Lee clip machine.  I can make you some.  I have some store-bought ones you can use, too.  Doesn't Tim's in Everett have them?

Thanks, Guys. Howard that would be cool if you can make them. I know I will eventually see you at Arlington or Cafe India one of these days.

Ty,

I made the ones at Tom's with his Lee clip bender.

I somehow missed Jim's clip bender. Can someone post a photo of the
bent clip product?

Just curious.

Thanks,
