The latest Matt Cornell harness
- Thread starter moss
- Start date
Well idk what's going on in Ohio but endors got my saddle to the PO same day I placed order last Friday and it moved to another place in Canton and from all I can tell the usps said it's gonna be late but it still looks like it's in Ohio... So who knows when I'll get it.
Or a good saddle soap.
A few years in a TreeMo and now the MCRS has taught me that the leg pad bungee being attach near the centerline of the backpad is no bueno, and causes the leg pads to rotate as you sit in you suspension...
On the Treemo I either removed the bungee altogether or simple move the attachment point out on both sides...I always hated hanging the leg pads off of the centering on the MCRS as it caused the legpads to rotate and also pulled down on the center ring. For those who insist on leg bungee's this works really well at keeping the lap-pads from rotating, and puts them right where they need to be....
And yes this works perfectly on the Valiant too. Keeps the leg pads perfectly centered on the thigh when you sit in the suspension....

@Tom Dunlap , can we change Rico’s status to well-known MCRS Master?

Section 3 article VII of the loggers’ code states that if sharing a picture of yourself with non- loggers, there must be some visible flannel clothing worn.
They probably meant the cute shirt, sometimes with a matching hat we so often see, but Rico is a wild child and likes thumbing his nose at the powers that be.

Mornings, PJ's, and some killer coffee is when I get my best work done....
Final setup on the Valiant. Slice terminated to TriRig plates in the hip dee location (amazing), and TriRig plates also in the lower dee location. Black rings in the back of the backpad and leg pads, and the bungee strung up as I described earlier.. As good as it gets gents....

That is great Rico!
I've been copying your setups and I'm enjoying the Valiant. I'm only two steps behind. I need to add the bungee and the PJs.

Ya I'm liking the rigging plates dude... I might order me some of those.
I'm gonna try the rings first then maybe try the d rings from my Weaver 4d first.
But it really seems advantageous to at least use the rigging plates at the hips bc it seems like it helps to run the ropes through separate holes in the plates.

I have a set of plates for the hip connections. I noticed the same about running the suspension through the seperate holes to help keep everything oriented. On the other hand I like an adjustable length bridge and was wanting to run the plates in reverse with the big holes for the suspension, leaving the middle smaller hole for the bridge. With this setup I can tie in a hitch cord on the bridge using the outer holes for hitch termination.
Anyone have any ideas for this setup with a hitch cord and Rico's plate method?
