Thanks to you and dr. wilson for the information. Very helpful. Would I use spinnaker type cordage for the aft lines and what's the preferred method for securing to the sling. -Joe

:: The grainger part number for the one I bought is 3KN81.
:: It is a yellow sling, 4 feet in length, and capable of
:: holding 6700 lbs. The cost in the catalog is $22.15.
::
:: Hope this helps.

:: :: I believe you can get them from Grainger as well. Svens
:: :: use to carry them but not sure if they still do. Just
:: :: make sure what you get is a solid loop and that it can
:: :: hold 4K lbs or more. I believe the yellow or green strap
:: :: are the correct sizes.
:: :: 
:: :: -Jason

:: :: :: I still have the old style, steel cable lifting straps
:: :: :: and would like to replace 'em with nylon straps. Can
:: :: :: anyone please give provide a source or is it something
:: :: :: Svendson's could do. -Thanks!
