How reliably do CG hooks disconnect when the angle of the ropeexceeds the autorelease angle
While inspecting, look for small (maybe 1/32 inch?) cracks.
That seems to happen before noticeable wear changes.

A quick way is to only use a TOST ring set where you can still read (most) of the TOST part number stamped on the side of the small ring. With dimension change due to wear&tear, the part number will become unreadable. This has the dual benefit of also ensuring you are being hooked up with a proper TOST ring set and not a home made or repaired set. PS- Remind me to take a calipers out to the airfield next visit and validate a suspect worn ring’s dimensions. Thanks, whoever posted the spec dims. Welcome! Uli 'AS'
