B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 You mean the oins what you use as a 'stop' when doubling elastic up through a hole? Like this? That is ofcourse a nail head and some elastic bands. A nail will work. But the answer to your question is both Quote Link to post Share on other sites
relic2 19 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 so does the pin go through the elastic through the excess when you fold it back and then put the elastic in the hole in catty hope ive explained the best i can cheers relic2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 You make your loop in the elastic and tie a piece of string through the loop. You then pull the loop through the hole and put your pin in place. Adjust the length of the elastic by fiddling with the elastic in the hole. Once your happy pull it all tight.

B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Does this explain it a bit better.... This is only for illustration purposes. This catapult isnt designed for this typen of attachment and the holes are too big. Yours should be hard to pull through and a lot tighter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
