[quote=Edchris177]Good advice Philip, that setup would result in a twisting force on the pin.
Gray, ignore the advice I gave you, I just went back & looked closely at the NACRA manual, I do not have mine setup correctly. I have used it as it was when I bought it, but my jib hangar is bass ackwards!
Attach your jib hangar as shown in the pic above, or Photo #38 in the old Nacra manual. (in the pic above, the hangar has fallen down, you would rotate it upwards 180* before attaching jib. Then forget the small bow shackle I show in my photo, the jib tack grommet goes between the two ears of the hangar, insert a pip pin,(detent pin or toggle pin with spring) no fuss, no hassle. I'm going to change mine tomorrow, & use a pin like one in the top left or bottom right of link below.
Note: the holes in the jib hangar are probably worn, so detent pins as shown at top left may fall out, you would have to secure them with a zip tie, still way esier than ring dings.
