A link plate system for a connecting a tether to a TLP via a first pin and a second pin. The link plate system may include a plurality of link plates. Each link plate may include a first hole sized to receive the first pin that connects the link plate to the TLP and a second hole sized to receive the second pin that connects the link plate to the tether. The length of each link plates may he sized and the holes of each link plate may be positioned and sized such that a distance between the first pin and the second pin is different for each link plate so as to allow adjustment of the connection length between the TLP and the tether.
