Boom band with eye - 11 mm Ø

Boom band with eye - 11 mm Ø. A single boom band cut from the boom band set ref. 48-SET, glass filled plastic, with eye, for 11 mm Ø boom.

Where a forestay or other heavily loaded line is to be added to the boom use the 104-xxx stainless steel equivalent instead.

Similar in design to our stainless steel 104-xxx items and therefore suitable for use with the zed hook, ref. 87Z. Made of glass filled plastic and strong enough for most applications except for the forestay attachment.

Lock in place with cyanoacrylate glue. For a more secure fixing drill the band and boom with a 1.0 mm diameter drill and use a short length of 1.0 mm diameter stainless steel wire to 'nail' the band in place. See the thumbnail sketches for details. If you need to move the band at a future stage it can be released after pushing the 'nail' through to the inside of the boom.

To align the 11 mm Ø size fitting with others used on a boom we have developed boom fitting alignment blocks - ;here.

Tight fit?

If the bands are difficult to place onto the tube you have, use the following tips. Ensure any sharp edge on the outside of the end of the boom is removed with a fine file or abrasive paper. Soften the bands by immersing in hot (not boiling) water before use.
