One of my mast projects is to improve my topping lift situation. Based on ideas on another thread I posted, I thought I'd go with dyneema from the masthead to a few feet above the boom end. Then run 5/16" sta-set up to a low friction ring (ronstan) on a brumel splice at the boom end of the TL. At the mast head I have a small block along the lines of what was there prior. Time is a factor because I don't want to hold up putting the mast up because i'm figuring out things that a rigger could do in 30 minutes. But I do like the diy aspect, so...
How do you put eye splice on hardware at each end of the dyneema? I'm trying brumel splices with 7/64 amsteel. Seems like it's not possible because at some point you have pull the line through itself (so to speak). I've searched youtube, but all videos are about splicing on hardware at one end only.
Am I densely missing something? thanks.
