Black Diamond C3 Trigger repair kits - what do they give you?

Hi all,  does anyone have experience with ordering a trigger repair kit from BD?  

I have a broken trigger on a BD C3.  There's a round plastic grommet that holds the base of the wire, inside the trigger bar - that part has broken.  

Does the C3 repair kit that BD has on their website give you these plastic parts as well?  or just the metal wires themselves?

Just the wire if I’m not mistaken. Sounds like yours may be toast. 

Ask BD, they probably have parts laying around in a drawer

Even if you can get your hands on the plastic part, you wont be able to get it on the cable as they are threaded on before the cable is crimped/swaged onto the head. I suppose you could maybe cut it in half and then glue it back together on the cable, but not sure how well that would work. 

I had a wire pop out of one of those and managed to pop it back in the little hole at the top and bend it back around the plastic slider. Used a pair of pliers and hemostats. Sorry if you lost the plastic part and this is unhelpful 

The trigger wire kits I have from BD contains no plastic parts at all. However, they are labeled "Trigger C4  BLKD 26024", so it might be different than the one you have in mind. More importantly, I've heard rumors that BD does no longer make these. Does anyone have good suggestions for DIY material for trigger wires for C4 (the standard BD cam just before the ultra-light version)? I've a decent standard steel wire fitting #3 (which probably fits down to maybe 0.4). However, the 0.3 cam uses a much thinner wire into the lobe and I can't find material that is stiff enough. Any suggestions? (right now I'm leaning towards going all "soft" with  a nylon fishing line).

You cant have soft trigger wires with C3's. There are no springs in the heads of the cam. They are below the trigger and push the rigid trigger wires to expand the lobes.

I've seen some folks use guitar/bass strings... a little janky but not terrible.

Had this problem twice. Had to send them in both times.

  Sorry for messing up this thread. My comments were regarding the C4, which is obviously a very different design. My brain fart told me C3 was just a previous generation of C4, which is NOT true.

Resurrecting this thread….

I have eight C3 trigger wires I am willing to sell.

Anyone interested?  Located in Boulder CO.
