Hi all
I was just wanderind if anyone had ever used the foot strap mechanisms as a calf cuff by adding some parts to it.
If anyone has please post some pics

He wants 7 League Vipers but without the £80/90 cost :L

Can't see why it wouldn't work but you would have to buy a set of bindings and then make a back to them
Might cost you more than the Vipers
But no reason why you couldn't convert a set of PJ ones to use a quick release system

I reckon you could take the clip part and the zip strap bit of some bindings and bolt them onto some calf cuffs. Not sure though could sacrifice security of stitching etc though :S

I dont know but i might give it a try sometime or if anyone wants to try and post pics then that would be cool

Xarnu Sonci did it about 4 years ago. There's pictures over on PP, here's his:

I actually had this idea a year back. I always insisted that pulling the leg backwards into the stilt would be more stable than pulling it forwards into the knee-bar. This was before they invented calf cuffs.
Nero even gave me some spare straps so I could have a go...but being a bit rubbish with tools I never got around to doing it. I think calf cuffs do the job now...but I may have a go at making them just for fun, now that I have some more mechanically handy friends. ^_^ I'm just an ideas and design man. ^_^

Poweriser have copied the Velocity Stilts cuff locking system.

It's probably the best in the business so maybe someone can start building a mod kit for existing cuffs. Can't be that difficult.
Here's a buckle supplier (http://www.batzusa.com/node/45).

PBC those buckles look sketchy at best, here's the supplier for the buckles used on velocity stilts http://www.austrialpin.at/ they cost $25 each, but i'd gladly pay that for a buckle that i'm 100% sure won't come undone.

Me too!

Hmmm.... you have all given me an idea :P may do it over Christmas if I can be bothered :D
