I had clips attched to my backup torches with cable ties but snapped one yesterday, then as an experiment twisted the one on Claire's torch which snapped really easily! So I now want to attach the bolt snaps using thin braided nylon line from a now broken dsmb reel.

Question is which knot is best to use for this? I think I've come across "Cave" knots on one of the DIR websites but I can't find how to do it now.

Any insturctions, links or photos welcome! Also sugestions on other knots? Please note I am no boy scout or ex navy lad!

How to attach a snap

There you go. I tend to use a tiny drop of Superglue on the knots to make sure

HTH,

Thanks for the link Fraser.

Juz - Claire actually took it fairly well but you're right, do need to fix it asap!
