Cool, but I see lacerations in your future. Cut the bolts shorter and put some dome head nuts on.

I wear out about 2-sets a year but I also break some through catapults.

I'd hate to have an indestructible harness lines as that'll be either a boom or me being destroyed.

Does look a good solution though, Bit of heat shrink around the screws will fix up any prob's

I don,t think they,ll be indestructible, ropes rated to 200kg. Just trying to save a few dollars. All my lines last about a year and i rather spend my dollars on new sails than lines.
I like the heat shrink idea as the dome nuts idea wouldn,t work (Sorry Ian)

taking it 1 step further, you can also convert the broken lines to fully adjustable lines. I did a write up on another forum a while back http://www.deepfried.tv/forum/postings.cfm?id=2366

Just a note that I have since removed the zip ties and just tied a bowline around the thimbles.

It works great and is the only setup that I have tried where you can actually adjust the length quite easily while on the go. Probably not necessary for wave riding, but its good for formula or salom.

You heavyweights!?! I've never worn out any after 20 years sailing...
