    Synapse Mod, Attachment Point

    I wanted a quick way to attach a carabiner to my Synapse and found this little item in a boating store. Not sure what it's called, but it worked perfectly. Since one side is flat, it ensures that it doesn't rotate around and stays put. Also, it's easily reversible so doesn't require you to do anything except for tightening a single screw. Hope someone else finds this useful.

    That would be a "forged 'D' shackle with pin". They are also available with a wider pin opening if you didn't want it to pinch your webbing. Fun fact: that shackle is likely rated for a working load of over 1500 lbs with a breaking strength of over 3000 lbs. Just check with the shop that sold it to you and ask for a product information sheet before you try anywhere near that.

    Though not as heavy duty as the above, Grimlock carabiners may be just what you're looking for. These are surprisingly strong and very light and quiet.

    Just curious, what would you attach to the carabiner on the front? I'm having trouble thinking of possible uses for this.

    That's me! Purveyor of trivial trivia and outlandish ideas! I think I may have went a bit overboard on mine.....
