Smarty Endlinks no more?.... can someone recommend an alternative end link for 116500

Hey y’all,

So I’ve finally sourced my size oysterflex for my 116500. When I went to buy the smarty end links, their website seems no more. It exists via a google search but pages won’t load on any of my devices.

Are their alternative end links out there? Please recommend. I found a reference via searching for a company called “original time” which sounds like an option, but I couldn’t find a website for them.


Thanks in advance. Please feel free to PM me if it’s more appropriate

Smarty is a member here under smartyjones18 if not mistaken. Would try to contact him to inquire.

I have a brand new set for anyone that would like to PM me. My leather strap is too thick at the lugs to accomdate the links or I would keep them. They have never been used.

Interesting. I tried contacting him a month ago asking if he’d started working on OP41 endlinks yet. The email I had used before kicked back. Hope things are okay.

For an update. I got a quick reply from smartyjones18 here on TRF stating he still has and is selling the endlinks.

No reason provided for the website hiccup, but no worries from me. I provided payment and hope to have the end links next week.

A big thank you to TRF for the pointing in the right direction.

Please see my post above. TRF PM system produced a very quick reply. I’d recommend getting them while you still can (that’s what I’m doing myself). Good luck!

Interesting. The website now loads for me. Must have been a technical glitch going on
