New Rope Tab (GG+) - 'The Finger'

When the stock rope tab is ground off a GG+ or a GG2019 to make the rope flow better, it opens the possibility of the rope getting caught underneath the cam arm during a fall and possibly severing the rope. I have not heard of this happening so far. However, it only needs to happen once which could lead to death or serious injury very real possibility.

Making a new rope tab finger can protect from this happening and virtually make it impossible for the rope to get caught behind the cam arm. This idea harkens back to the GG2 which had the rope tab on the pivoting cover instead of the cam arm. This resurrects that concept but places it in a position that allows the rope a free flowing path for HUR position so that feed is super smooth and eliminates the danger of a cam arm with the rope tab being ground off.

Note: the GG+ shown in the photos below also has the cam arm fillet mod done on it. Both are probably not needed. If done right I think it's more an either/or situation but having both certainly is 'safe'. If I were going to do just one, I'd probably just do The Finger mod.

Materials I used:
1/8" aluminum rod; stainless tube - 5mm OD 0.4mm wall thickness; 2-part steel epoxy
