Think it's a flat webbing job, looking at it and the knot ... no sling of any description should be used with any visible damage - end of .. it's not only knotted it's frayed/cut everywhere

Ferrodo used to have an advertising slogan many moons ago which said " your right to speed is your ability to stop " ... basically he was going to 'kin quickly
