Powers spur scender

I had my rivets come loose too and Mike offered to fix it but I couldn't bare the thought of being without it. I took mine down to the hardware store and found some bolts that fit and nylon lock nuts.
It's important that the head of the screw doesn't stick up above the surrounding metal. If it does the cam might snag on the screw and not grab the rope.
Awesome tool, Thanks Mike!

I posted it at the time. It is at the top of page 15 of this thread.
"The spacer is 0.1875" x 0.75" and is the same length as the powerscender plate.
I had to round off the edges to make it sit flush between the contoured ridges of the DMM Distels."
It is very simple.
If I remember correctly the screws that hold the spurs onto the spur body are of two lengths. I benefited from purchasing an extra set of spurs so I had an extra set of the longer screws.
You may need or want to purchase slightly longer screws to compensate for the added thickness of the plate.
I've had no problems with my set up.

The bashlin mount is actually quite simple. I received a powerscender from someone on the buzz, think mark but can't remember now. Took a large drill and chamfered the top hole (I think), which was a pain because of the washer insert. Took the large gaff mount bolt out and installed the ascender on the inside or the shank with a 1/4" longer gaff bolt. Once loaded it locked in against the gaff, I re tightened and it hasn't moved since.
I'll try to get pictures today when they go back in my truck.

"Old" is relative. Actually Treestuff had a new pair on Luke's Floor not too long ago that I was watching until someone snagged them. I think I got these in the early '90s from the Kuemmerling truck. I need to get a new set of top pads. Seriously thinking about the Big Buck pads. Powerscenders would be a nice addition too.
