Default 2 holes and a hook

Thanks Brion.

That 2 holes and a hook approach is exactly the one that I had intended on using. In fact on the mizzen mast I'll be using the same holes that the cable clamps for the external wires were attached to.

Speaking of holes...

There are a number of places on my 30 year old spars where PO's (Previous Owners) had installed hardware without appropriate "goop" on the stainless threads. Some of this hardware has been removed, leaving (surprise!) broken off stubs of stainless bolts embedded in the spar. Should I just cuss the stupidity of the PO and leave them there? Drill them out and fill the holes? Fill the holes with what? The mast is unpainted, so appearance isn't the issue.
