RiggerLee 61 #2 August 27, 2014 There are a couple of pattern sets that just do not seem to have enough space below the bottom loop, IMO. But the mystifying part of this question is the idea of investing $1,300 in a 92 Racer. That's what I really can't get my head around.

riggerrob 643 #6 August 28, 2014 Agreed! Some of the earlier Racers do not have enough space between the lower reserve pin and the bottom wall to accommodate both the Cypres battery box and the centre cell. So your rigger needs to learn how to pack the centre cell somewhere else. The second most popular place (to pack the centre cell) is between the two closing loops. Yes, they can be retro-fitted with Cypres pockets but your rigger must understand the finer points of packing your center cell between the two closing loops. Not easy to make it look pretty, but I have done it a few dozen times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 643 #8 August 29, 2014 Sure! For example, a customer recently asked me to sew Cypres pockets into his 1985-vintage TSE Chaser. I agreed to do the sewing because the harness/ container is in like-new condition. My customer is only the second owner. The first owner only made a few dozen jumps on that Chaser before stuffing it in a closet where it "hibernated" for almost 30 years. OTOH I would refuse sew on the same rig if it had jumped hard for 30 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
