I just got a Plugger straight shaft for my Excal II and noticed that along with the velcro cuff strap it also came with two large pieces of velcro, one with a sticky side. Where do these pieces go? Is the sticky one supposed to be stuck inside the cuff itself (over the screws?). Not sure what it's used for...and the cuff seems pretty huge! Any advice would be great.

Not having a Plugger shaft but just going on how my Sand Shark is set up is the sticky sided velcro goes on the outside of the cuff (cut for size of the cuff) and the other velcro goes on the outside overtop of your arm.

Stick the sticker velcro in the metal cuff, i cut notches for around the screws, attach the double fuzzy velcro on top of that.

Good ?

I just checked all my plugger shaft's,the Excalibur plugger shaft's have the velcro were the cuff is,my Gt and white's plugger shaft's have black rubber insert's,both cover the cuff nut head's which i think is the general idea,but i like the rubber better,if you talk to William,please mention Surf Master, and ask him to explain,why is it that the excal shaft's he uses the velcro, instead of the rubber insert's that he use's on the other shaft's he make's Thank's Earl

Thanks guys, I think I figured it out thanks to your suggestions. sticky side on the inside and then the 'softer' piece sticks on top of that.

I was wondering how long it would take for THESE pictures to be posted AGAIN

Glad I make my open shafts so I don't have to post pictures of someone else's shafts. However Plugger does make a good shaft and I do use his cam locks they are the best I have found so far.

Curious question... do you right hand swingers position the knobs facing you or away from you on the plugger shafts?

I am curious as to why you choose the way you do, after seeing everyone seemingly position them towards your body, I would think that would create more potential to bump the knobs?

And while we are talking about knobs, why the guard? I just ordered a plugger 3 pc., but it didn't include the guard.

I swing right handed, i mounted my control pod with the knobs facing out...That way i don't bump them accidentally.
As far as the velcro, mine started to rip free from the webbing strap, i fixed it with a zip tie through both pieces and it's been fine for almost a year like that...

Earl, you need to chill, you take everything to serious. Or maybe you could take a new picture for those of us that have been around for awhile.
