Albion kb bridle advice?

[lara b]

Hi, the big cob has an elevator bridle which he likes so I have bought a Albion kb as his second bridle. Problem is the bit seems to slide around loads which is not good for either of us! Has any one else had this problem? Only thing to mention is that although the other parts are all kb I did cheat and use a Weymouth slip head instead of the kb skip head with the separate cheek pieces and I wonder if the real parts have something in them to stop it sliding so freely?? Any advice? Going back to my old bridle in mean time!

I have both those bridles and mine does not slip at all?

Hmm I wonder if it's the wrong slip head causing the problem, if I put pressure on one rein it literally slides the whole lot around and lifts the bit on that side and lowers it on the other!
