officertdbailey Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I really like the idea of making one with a length of pipe, a floor flange, and the t adapter at the top.... but i would prefer to not have to use the t adapter and short length of chain and carabiner at the top.... is there any type of adapter that could be used in place of the t , that has a hole all the way through -- so a carabiner could be directly attached ? if so, what is it called ? and suggestions are appreciated the main reason i want to change the design is laziness, and speed..... if that t could be exchanged, i could slip weights off and on the loading pin with far greater ease and quickness to change between different exercises , obviously not a plumber..haha t bailey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 http://strongmanfeats.com/MakingLoadingPins.html I think this'll work for you (I'm assuming this isn't the same design, if so sorry). It's pretty simple, just tubing, eye bolt, different washers, nuts and bolts. I think this was Biggerfoot's design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some black paint has chipped off though. The 1 inch bolt is nearly indestructible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxyj75 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I have been thinking about using 2'' diameter metal water pipe, a floor flange, and then just simply drilling a hole in the top of the pipe and inserting a bolt with a wing nut to attach the carabiner to. I really like the pvc design too though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 To make a loading pin, I used a 12'' pipe nipple, a floor flange, and an endcap. I drilled a hole through the center of the endcap and bolted an eyebolt through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
