Is the price for 1 or a kit?
Purple = sarcasm

I weighed that option as well, for me the 5 dollars more than covered the pain in the arse of taking my arms off again. :lol:

Or someone can experiment with zip ties. Make it the thunderdome of fasteners.

zip ties wont work, it needs to be elastic/stretchable to maintain tension on the rod joints at all ranges of travel.

they have good solution, although i think it should've been included with the kit.

How bout using a zip tie as a link to tie the ends of a regular rubber band together.
Wrap the band around the arms, zip tie the ends

Hey Cambo, as of last monday we are including them standard with the arm kits. And they are available for previous owners to upgrade their arms for a minimal cost on our website. ( only $5.00 with free shipping)


Yes, you can use rubber bands. It needs to be elastic.


We use a soft stretchy latex rubber tubing and a laser cut connecting barb.
