After making my first sit drag it's real comfy but i have just acquired an old industrial singer so i want to have a go at the kestrel clone you all have been doing, it looks really tidy, now i would like to switch things up a bit as firstly i won't need the line mans loop as it will be used with DRT only.
so onto my question instead of leg buckles are those G hooks ok for the leg straps? as I have a bit of a plan in using my petzl harness as the waist band as I like the hoop that's at the front and the belt is quite slim and fits well and incorporating the leg straps as per the kestrel with those hooks for easy fitting, lastly what thickness amsteel do you use for your bridges, many regards wayne

I'm using drt myself and weigh 285. I'm using the steel flat g hooks and so far have been impressed. No bending or stress on them at all. But I only have 1 sit so far.

I’ve been using the g-hooks on the leg straps and 1/4” amsteel for the bridge.
