I attached a d-ring to my Raven with a hose clamp. I think it looks pretty awesome. What do you guys think?  |

To me, The Force is real! Not as something that can be used as a power, no, but something that is all around us. It is the wind you feel on your skin, the color of the leaves on a tree, and the very air you breathe. Too often, we forget to stop what we are doing and just enjoy what it has given us. Look around you, young one.
The Force has given you Life!

I like D rings myself, far more than Covertech Wheels. I think this is a great start, but for me, I have WAY too much experience with how easily hose clamps will shred your skin... Be careful with that.

No problem, the edges of those clamps are deceptively sharp. My suggestion, when you get a chance, is drill and tap a hole to mount that D ring. Or do some kind of wrap (leather comes to mind) over the hose clamp. |

You could also try drilling directly through the covertech wheel, and attaching the ring to that - if there was one... +1 for Raven.  |

If there was a covertech, you could just use the hole from it, that's what I did on my Dominix. You'd want to get a button head screw, 8-32 size, 1/4 inch is a good length for that. If you can't find one locally, they sell them at TCSS. |

Looks good but I agree with Illyiss, be careful with that thing. It looks deadly just in the picture LOL.
If you decide you want to tap and drill TCSS has everything you need from the tools, to a Star Wars looking D-Ring, to the screws.
But great idea, I also like D-Rings much better then covertec wheels.
