In light of so many lovely vhooks being made, and most recently some fine examples by jay stanz!
I thought id bring the gb1 vhook under closer scrutiny.
I have been going over some snapshots from Rays pack in GB1. I have heard some people say that the male end of the vhooks in gb1 had no screw holes on the outside, but the the images below look like there are definatly some holes there, maybe not the counter sunk holes from the outside like GB2 but maybe they are drilled and tapped all the way through with no counter sunk on the outside, and then screwed in place from the inside? so the screw would screw all the way through from inside and be close to sitting flush with the outside. (which could in some circumstances give the impression that there are no screw holes depending on how flush the scews sit with the outside)
Also the male end which attaches to the aluminum block looks like it is made up of 2 separate parts which arn't 100% aligned, instead of 1 solid piece. you can see the edges, creases and shadows of the 2 bits...
What do you guys think?
If this is or might be the case, im sure it wouldn't be too hard for the people that are already making vhooks to make some slight adjustments for a gb1 version? hint hint
