I, too, made "shroud rollers" by installing 5' lengths of 3/4 inch PVC pipe on
the forward lowers. They have made "knot hangups" a thing of the past.
Why 5'? I got two out of one stock 10' pipe. Why 3/4"? I discovered that the
little caps that fit on the plastic turnbuckle covers fit perfectly over the
ends of 3/4" pipe. I then gave them a couple of wraps of rigging tape and,
