Aloft is another animal. Is there any way you can do a leathered served eye with a cleat? It is the simpler and most sound solution. The thimbles come into play when you need to get a turnbuckle on it, if at all possible the large eyes aloft are the way to go.
That said, if your rig was designed for 1x19 then that is probably where it should be. If you use Hayn or some other re-usable terminal you are in the same, repairable sceneriao it would seem you are shooting for. I used Hayn on my boat and only can say Wow they are super simple. I had big plans about doing trad rig etc and maybe dynex, I can get it direct from Hampijan from work, but the cost doesn't add up. It is the same or more money and no better service factor. The one thing from PT foundry I really wanted to do but couldn't justify due to cost, I get Hayn at good prices, was there poured socket fittings. I really think they are the ultimate fitting, work on any wire and are rated at 100% of breaking strength of the wire, all you need is fire and a old zinc to re-due.
