Default how to connect upper ends of HM checkstays to tang?
Well that answers my main question--I will be going with 3/8 for the uppers as well. thanks.

I think I will take your advice about removing the intermediates and replacing them with amsteel running backstays as well. My only remaining question is how to make the top junction between amsteel and the tang. Is it as simple as an eye splice, with a thimble, and putting the cotter pin in the tang through that eye splice?

thanks!
matt
