I want to splice the dyneema to rings on one end and snap hooks on another. I was hoping to avoid cowhitching anything. Perhaps the Mobius is not the way to go? I'm making a bridle to lift an inflatable dinghy with. The lift lines from the davits are 64" apart. I have two stainless rings to which I was going to connect the lift lines from the davits via snap shackles. I was going to splice dyneema to the two rings making them 64" apart. Then to each ring I was also going to splice 2 strops to go lift points on the dinghy. The ends of the strops would be spliced to appropriately rated snap hooks.

So I need to be able to splice around rings and snap hooks and not have access to the opposite ends of the line. I was going to use this splice:

But was thinking some sort of Brummel would be easier?
