I put a 1/4\" diameter stainless steel rated delta on each loop to extend the loops on my small harness. I used electrical tape (3/8\" wide tape or cut the regular stuff down the middle with scissors) to bind each mini delta to its loop so they wouldn't rotate in their respective loops. Worked well, I climbed on it for a year. Two drawbacks: 1. Your main pear or delta will rotate more easily when your harness is unloaded (I wrapped the bottom of my pear with a short length of narrow webbing to the leg strap D to prevent rotation) 2. You will be tilted back slightly more when you hang from the harness. It worked for me but your mileage may vary depending on your climbing style and body type.
