Subject: dir bolt snaps
Date: Wed, 01 Dec 1999 13:57:28 PST
So, the only part of me that is non-DIR (besides solo-diving...) is the damn 
bolt snaps.  I cannot operate itty-bitty brass bolt snaps with 5mm gloves on 
and loose pre-bent d-rings.  I have tried putting a bit of surgical tubing 
around the d-ring under the webbing to help it stay in one place, and we 
will see how that works.

I cannot find any large stainless bolt-snaps.  The ones EE sells are still 
quite small.  Larger stainless bolt-snaps is the official DIR answer to my 
problem above, but the snaps aren't any longer than a couple inches in 
length above the eye, which is too small on my brass ones.  I will order 
some and try it, but I have my doubts.

The stainless double-end dog clips are a decent length, about 4" or so, but 
for most applications I want to use the swivel eye bolt clip which only 
opens on one end.  Any suggestions or things I've missed?  Note that I've 
said I'm at least going to TRY it the DIR way, but I dont' expect to have 
much luck.  Thanks.

Cam
