No pics yet. But I fixed it. In case anyone's following this or for the future. The 3 front poles that you put the skup cap into.
They have a threaded hex bolt screwed into the end that hold stormpole adapters on the left and right and also holds in place
An eyelet that makes the rain gutter.

Now that I've replaced the broken one. I can see that the hex bolt snapped just where the thread starts. The torn black material might have some slight reinforcing qualities but I think is mostly aesthetics.

It's working perfectly now as is. Which leads me to believe that the bolt failed and would have pinged off and torn the black material.

Nice update.

What's the plan for the torn material?

Going to leave it. Doesn't seem to do much it isn't bivvy material
It's much weaker than that. I always use the skull cap
So you don't see it anyway.

Fair enough 👍

Skull cap does work well, I like the simple attachment and how it just hooks over the peg heads.

I was using cheap NGT platform pegs the other weekend and everything worked great with um.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
