The illustrated dimensions do not account for knots,
or loops attaching to the spars.
(shown: knot-edge to knot-edge)
However, below is a detailed bridle line cutting guide.
Following this when cutting the bridle will ensure correct lengths and includes allowances for all knots & loops.
Just cut, mark and assemble!

Always flange the line-end with a flame first.
Mark the line for each with a fine tipped crayon. These will become the dead center for knots and flange-stop for each end.

If you use 2mm carbon for Roll Bars, be sure to purchase high quality rod (Exel) that's flexible and won't splinter when bowed.

However, other materials such as fibreglass rod can be used.
