[Rhodes22-list] Traveler question revisited

[Todd Tavares]

    Someone recently asked for solutions for adding a traveler, GB or otherwise, to an older R22 without replacing the backstay(s).
  Maybe some of you engineer types, (hint hint... if they are not too busy, now that school is back in session) can comment on a couple of ideas I have.

  My backstays are attached on through the third hole down on the chain plate/adjuster link bar.  Could I cut the backstays right at the top of the toggle, slip a tube end cap on, and re-swage another toggle on, and reposition the pin in the top hole or add longer adjuster plates?

  Or does anyone see a problem with my second idea?  (see attachment)
