Spearit NTR Inserts: Wishbone Assembly

  1. Cut the ends of a 12in(30cm) piece of wishbone cord at an angle for easier insertion. We recommend Spearit 1.9mm or 2.5mm Spectra wishbone cord.
    .
  2. Thread two NTR Terminal Inserts on to the cord, butt first, from opposite ends.

    .
  3. Tie a simple over hand knot in one end of the cord

    Figure 3

    .
  4. Postion and tighten the knot 1/2in(13mm) from the end of the cord.

    Figure 4

    .
  5. Tie a second overhand knot in the opposite end of the cord.
    .
  6. Position and tighten this knot 3 inches (for 4.5 inch wishbone) from the first.

    Figure 6

    .
  7. Trim the excess cord 1/2in(13mm) from the second knot.
    .
  8. Unravel the strands of the 1/2in(13mm) tails at both ends of the cord.

    Figure 8

    .
  9. Melt the unraveled strands with a heat gun and roll them into a tight ball against the knots. It is highly recommended that this step be performed only in a well ventilated outdoor area using protective leather gloves.

  10. Seat the end knots in the knot chambers of the NTR Inserts.

Spearit NTR Inserts: Wishbone Installation

  1. Generously lubricate the Spearit NTR Wishbone Inserts with liquid hand soap or silicone lubricant.
    .
  2. Insert the terminal of the Wishbone Inserts into the ends of the latex band tubing.

    Figure 2

    .
  3. Using your thumb, press the Wishbone Inserts into the tubing until the knot chamber is is against the end of the tubing.

    Figure 3

    .
  4. Position and tighten a constrictor or double constrictor knot 3/8in(9mm) from both ends of the tubing.
