My plan was to redo the eye splice in the 12 strand but also to install a thimble that could not come out. I have not seen these in any stores. I have seen enclosed thimbles for sailmakers use but they dont seem to come any bigger than about 1/4". I thought of taking a stainless 3/4" thimble and cutting some 3/4" id stainless tubing to weld straps onto the thimble to make it enclosed but was hoping to be able to buy one. Thoughts?
