Why fix what isn't broken? I've never had a tri-fold mount fail. I really disliked having them in BT-20 sized tubes when I was a kid, because they took up precious space. I mostly use a kevlar leader in rockets I build these days, and I still sometimes use the trusty tri-fold. It's a tried and true shock cord mount.
Thanks Gene!
