Hollis Solo webbing

jdfmail:

Hey Nick,

I just set up my solo rig with my SS plate. I noticed that the grommet on the webbing is centered and not offset. When I set up the rig, on the back the grommet doesn't line up with the hole in the backplate. It's off by about 1/2 inch or less. I can push it up and line it up to insert the bolt but that just doesn't seem right. On other manufacturers webbing I noticed that the grommet is not centered it's more like 2/3 to one side. Did I do something wrong with the setup? If this is correct, I wonder why it's like this...there must be a reason.

Thanks!

BTW I haven't dove the Solo, SS with 25S wing yet but my first impressions are very high. It's seems extremely well made and looks great.

I have one more question. Without the use of an STA, can I or should I use something to hold the wing in place? I know that the cambands and tank will do that, but when not attached to a tank the wing will flop around. Is there some recommended way to deal with this. One of your competitors has these rubber plug like things attached to the wing that you push through the holes in the plate, the holes used to attach the STA. I'd like to do something like that.

We suggest our SS bookscrews to secure the wing to backplate if you wish - Hollis part number is #210.8031. These can also be found at almost any LDS. However, once the rig is setup, take a closer look at how the webbing comes through the cam slots of the wing. This angle prevents the wing from flopping around when off the tank and has been sufficient for most.

Hope this helps.

Nick, What is the bolt length needed? On the top hole it must be long enough to go through the wing, webbing and the plate. On the bottom only the wing and plate. What length is needed for each?

Thanks again.
