Any plans for adding a size for the C14 / C14 EdgeHD?

 

Thanks,

We've had quite a few request for the C14 as well and have a preliminary design.

 

Will look something like the one below in the extra heavy duty configuration with the double hinge to "wrap" around the tube.

 

Let us know if you are interested, would be happy to work on it with yourself.
