Hi All,
I just picked up a new to me Taipan 4.9 and am interested in adding a selftacker to clean up the tramp when running the chute. Does anyone know where to get the rail, car and attachments and the approximate cost. I am located in Ontario, Canada and would like to source the parts in North America.

Thanks / Aidan

If you want new, I know Fun in The Sun in Florida carries AHPC products. You can call Jill Nickerson at 727-734-0799 or email at funinthesun(at sign)juno.com

Harken can bend the track for you. The rest depends on how much you are prepared to do yourself.
Do you have a jib suitable for selftacking?

I would personally just buy the entire kit from AHPC than trying to assemble all the components by yourself. Saves a lot of time.
