    Ti D Rings

    Does anyone know what size the D rings are? Looks like about 1/2in.

    Thanks

    They are 5/8, as I recall. I'll measure them again when I get a chance.

    Sorry, you're right. They are 1/2 inch. When I was making my tarp, I couldn't find 1/2 grosgrain at Joann's Fabric - all they had is 3/8 and 5/8, so I went with 5/8 since I figured that was better than 3/8 grosgrain.

    Thank you both for the reply. Dutch, any way to make some that are 3/4 ID? Obviously not a strength issue, more of a 3/4in webbing issue....

    I'm afraid not. There are plastic ones. The biggest hurdle is the amount of TI it uses. It takes a lot of metal to just wind up with a tiny bit of metal.

    Eh, 1/2in webbing is easy to find. Why not bling it out.

    Ok, before I order D rings and Speed Hooks, are you coming out with anything else I can't live without this week?!

    Thanks for all the support

    Full service. Love it. I'll put in an order once I get the Sil and that should give me time to pick up any new bling that may be coming out in the next couple weeks. But really, shipping is cheap and fast.
