Ive seen a lot written about inskirt rigging and it's strengths and weaknesses but noting about how to build a sure enough bullet proof inskirt rigging. About all that is ever said is its good "if put in properly" but nothing really said about exactly what is put in properly. I've seen some supposedly strong inskirt rigs that were anything but strong.
Sure they give close contact but actually strong what I've seen were far from it. Close contact strong and lightweight seem to not go together. Hopefully someone can shed a little light on how to make it strong and lightweight at the same time. Each rigging dee or plate has its own requirements for installation. One rule I always follow is to use plugs on all inskirt riggings.

Without plugs a ridge is created that over time with the stirrup leathers rubbing on the rig, will wear the leather down to the rigging. A couple of weeks ago at the Colorado Saddle Makers Assoc. On both sides of the saddle, the leather was worn away.
