Hi again,
Ah. You can, and probably should, ring-hitch to the Johnson gate eyes. And the thimble (or Colligo's Terminators) can be squeezed into the finished splice. That's how we do it. So at least for this application, I don't think you need to do any fitting stuffing. But as you say, stretch and take-up are the tricky bits.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
