In a prior life, I was able to build custom handles and lines via Ski Rope Parts or some similar name.

In particular, I made the equivalent of an EZUp handle for my wife, enabling her to learn how to get up and out on a slalom ski.  Does any outfit sell line and handles and the like for those such as I am?

Also, someone with a manual likely knows, but what fuel is it that an 02 Sunscape LSV should use??

Thanks.

This is only place of know of now that sells handle parts.

And I seem I'm a little late with this link. Show ski teams have been making their own ropes forever. 

A lot of people added a Racor LG50 to their fuel lines, to keep the gas from shooting out the fill hole, while filling. I think they had to be mounted up high, and if the mount fails and it hangs low, then it can cause a back-up. 

I could be wrong about them failing, but I think it's what I read.

Did they get to overlap while being there? I had a semester with my sister at the same school and was very grateful for that

Yes, they're 3 years apart so when one was a Freshman the other was a Senior.  Worked out well!

I so need to do this. Next time mine are out this will be done. Thanks for the great idea. 

Certainly makes for a better quality of life

That 02 Sunscape 21 LSV I keep annoying you with is being picked up, and delivered, early this morning and late this afternoon, respectively, in MI and GA.

With any luck, the home at which it will reside will be finished in a couple of weeks, and after we've unloaded the trailer and set up our bed (can't do anything without a place to sleep and stuff to cook and eat on), this will be me this summer and into the fall:

But first I have to get my son to find that custom HO ski, built for a Nautique (pardon the expression) rep, and fitted with custom HO XXL (14W gives me a good understanding) full boots, wherever under the miasma in his basement it may be hiding!

Meanwhile, the lacing boot cover to HIS ski's almost-big-enough bindings has been rescued by a cruising buddy who's a sailmaker (we lived and cruised aboard a Morgan 461 sailboat for 15 years) having repaired the broken outer sleeve on one of HIS boots; it's under way to GA from VA, ETA this week.

Color me stoked and a heavy-duty Malibu fan (I just ordered another long-sleeved Tee because my day at the flea market was so stupendously well protected from sun, and earlier, during my sea trial, warm enough that I didn't need a jacket in the 60 degree 20-mph breeze enhanced by my hot start and hard turns testing mentioned elsewhere).
