They're going for $385 these days. I think I got mine for $325, too. Either way, so far the cost thing is WAYYYYY in favor of not buyin new ones- if I don't mind spending the time on it.

Okay...I'll wait. That was a close one. I almost swindled by these two so-called "welders." Thanks, OM! love nick

Holy smokes!!!!! I must've missed this thread when Jim posted his pics. Jim and Willie- can I have all of them to see what's the best ones? I'll gladly trade you guys for some splicing (or cash, if you prefer it). Very cool! I was at a mom-and-pop hardware store yesterday and they had a...

No- it doesn't need to be larger at all. It could actually be a little smaller if I wanted. The webbing isn't really "that" thick. But 1/4" should be just fine.

Willie- that rocks! Two questions- along the lines of what Burn said 1- If I filed the corners round, outside and inside to make it all neatened up, would it significantly weaken it? 2- I don't know anything about welding, but could you start with 1 rod, heat it up at the corners, then bend it...

I got a response from Buckingham: Nick, we only sell the finished product due to liability reason. Have a great and safe day. Bummer.

Cheaper? No way. I will have to buy/acquire the rings. I'll have to buy some thing to replace the rivets. How much could that possibly cost? A new pr. of geckos would be well over $400. And the headache part- this is a project! The headache is what it's all about :P love nick

MB, that's my real height. I'm only 5-11. Fall guy, that makes sense. I'll try.

'cause I'm in the shade?

Swell idea. I'll give it a shot. I haven't had good luck trying to get pieces of hardware from them in the past, but I'll give it a shot.

Removing the rivets that hold on the webbing won't be hard, but putting them back will be a slight challenge that I could use some help on. Some quick googling tells me that a rivet gun will run me about $50. I have a feeling that someone in LA has one...but how to find them? Are there other...

Here's the overall plan

So many phone calls, emails, and website scourings later I've decided the rings I want, or anything that'll work is just not available. I'm now thinking welding might be an option. I know there's some welders here- so let me know what you think...

Holy crap that website has TONS of stuff!!! I can't find the piece I need....but MAN! I'm bookmarking that one. love nick

I have a pair of Gecko spikes that I bought about 2-3 years ago. Apparently they are now sold with a cinch strap. Mine has the old simple wrap strap. Anyone know of a way I can switch this to a cinch strap? Do they make a kit or something like that? I called Sherrill and I got a simple...
