I am looking to trim and re-sleeve my North lines as the current sleeves are wearing out and the end of the lines are probably getting weak. What should I be looking for as a sleeving material?

Use the spare pigtails you have and buy some lin...

I did notice on the OR bar, the two outside lines have like a pigtail added maybe 5" long, but the inside lines are regular lines, why did they do it like th...

So just to confirm, I would take my spare (4) piq tails and add to all four lines. Also what does the term "Y" mean, I basically get it, but can other bars be different than "Y".
