    Hi, Gary. Thank you for reading the blog. A lot of the websites referenced were updated and our legacy links didn’t translate. That being said, Not all of them are exactly the same or even available. Fortunately, there are still tying instructions and other sources. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
