Snap-in replacement for broken load lifter?

[Brendan Mulholland]

I have a heavy duty backpack that has a broken load lifter.  Does anyone know if anyone makes a replacement load lifter that can snap into place on an existing webbing loop?

The broken load lifter is on a webbing loop that is sewn into the pack at the top of the frame stays.  Resewing is would have to be by hand if I have to go that route as the seam goes through at least 2 layers of 500D Cordura plus the webbing and is more than my machine can handle.

Any info much appreciated!

 

Cheers,

Brendan

Can you use a Dremel tool to cut the middle bar allowing it to be slid over the strap like in this example?

A pic would help

Thanks matthew, that seems like the best option.  Just wondering how much load that modified bar would take.  I’ll give it a shot as soon as I can get a new load lifter ordered.

Justin, don’t have the backpack with me for the next week or I would have sent out a photo

 

Thanks for your help,

Would this work?

That is exactly what I was looking to find. Do you have a link to where they sell those?
