I just picked up some of these Stainless Steel 11/0 Swivels. They are made for commercial fishing. I am going to use them on the recovery harness of my 17 pound rocket.
The supplier said they should hold near 1000 pounds! I'm not betting on that but it would take a lot of G's to near half that weight in a rocket and they look as strong as any other parts in my recovery system.
If anyone wants to try some I will send them to TRF members at cost plus shipping. They are $1.75 Canadian each.
30 grams each. 65 mm long and 20 mm wide. No bearings but they spin well under load.
There were some that are half the size I'm going to get later for midpower stuff.
If you want to try some please contact me at [email protected] before the end of July '04
