(1-800-827-6364) Subject: How do I replace standoffs on a Stinger? I have a Stinger 1000 and the standoff is splintering. I've got the fiberglass rod to replace it but don't know what to use to remove the glue that holds the original in place. Is it superglue? I'm hesitant about using a solvent as it might melt the plastic fitting. I'd appreciate any ideas.

The '95 kites aren't glued at all but held in place by sail tension. If you destroy the connector, call me, I'll send you a new one. 800.227.7878 Rob = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Thu, 8 Jun 1995 03:34:24 -1000 From: Ben Hammock Message-Id: <3r6u90$o3t@news.onramp.net> Organization: Ben's Kites Subject: Re: How do I replace standoffs on a Stinger? phldixon@aol.com (PhlDixon) wrote: >I have a Stinger 1000 and the standoff is splintering.
