Cast your vote: PENN 113H 4/0 double dog bridge (Kind of)

[Black Pearl]

Hi guys,

As you some might know that my resource has been working on the double dog bridge (stainless steel). Before I show the bridge drawing, I would like to get some answers from you guys. Please note that this double dog bridge will not require any modification on the right side plate.

1.) The existing dog (original) will keep on the right side plate.

2.) the second dog (new) will be installed on the bridge.

I would like to know if this design is acceptable. If there are any comments, please post it here.

Couple set samples will be made next week, and Sal will be testing them accordingly.

Thanks,
--Alan C.

Alan, That should be fine.

How do you feel the assembly of the bridge would be, with one dog on the bridge, and one in the plate? The spring for the plate dog is generally installed with the plate in place and slightly cocked to the side to pinch the spring into place for the plate dog. Will the movement of the bridge when installing the spring on the dog in the plate affect the dog/spring assembly on the bridge...Maybe knock it loose?

Will you be selling SS bridges with no dog attachment, for those with double dogs already modded into the side plates?

Thanks, Scott.

Alan  Sounds good to me as long as assembly doesn't get too difficult Doug

We don't think it will knock the spring off at all, but I know that Sal will make sure it installs correctly when he is testing it. He will also testing the same bridge with out the new dog install with a double dogs already modded into the side plate. We don't foresee any issue at all.

I would post the picture of the drawing, but I think it is better to wait. There are a lot of people watching on this site.

Sounds good to me Alan. Put me down for a couple

It would be nice if the double dogs would be installed on the bridge already though.     And I know how much Sal loves his syncronous dogs, but I personally don't believe that you will need that kind of strength and alternating dogs will be even better.  I have NEVER seen a single brass dog fail.  Stainless would be better to ensure this.  To break a dog that is less than 1/2", the forces would be so great that something else would fail before even the brass dog.

   I THINK A DROP IN SET-UP WOULD BE GREAT,KEEP IT ON THE BRIDGE IF IT MAKES AN EASIER INSTALLATION

Something like the one you make for the Jigmasters would be perfect.

Our 4/0's are not as the stock 4/0's, ours get much more drags.
I'm going to recommend that we keep the dogs engaging at the same time, you could always shave a little off yours.

I saw a Baja's dogs get shredded by a 50# Aj so it can happen

Please vote on which version you would like to see.
