Jiggs 0 #1 October 16, 2003 Hey all, I have got a set of type 8 (large chunky ones) triple risers, I was wondering if it was possible to have these folded in on themselves and tacked back up to give me a set of risers that is effectively the same as type 17 mini-risers that would roughly have the same strength as the 8's? Is this possible or is it a bad idea? Cheers"Don't blame malice for what stupidity can explain."

Cheers Yes it's possible and no you won't reduce the strength of the original T8 riser, as to the mechanics of how the "tripples" will operate, well that's up to the specfics of how the "tripple" is set up. Consult your local rigger on that point. If it's "thin" risers you want then just buy a set of tripple T17 risers,it's a much safer screwing around with somthing that's set up for what you are currently using. Just my $.02 cents. Mick.
