Hi All -
I've just about finished gathering all the parts to upgrade the jib travellers on my '77 H16, but I found some conflicting information regarding the location of the cleats.
I am going to use the trentec cars with 2 swivel cleats on each side (4 total). The location and use of each cleat is what I have a question on. I've found the two below images showing different setups.
In an old post Matt Miller shared the below computer drawing. Is there an advantage to one location vs another? Also note that in the photo the inboard cleat controls the traveller, but in Matt's image the inboard cleat controls the sheet. The trentec cars that I purchased (used) came with a block attached in the end hole, so they could be used like Matt's photo depicts.

Any help and advice is appreciated. Thanks!
