Bobbin thimbles.
Dear Viking,
No, they are not "lashing Thimbles" and do a comletely different job.
Have a look at the pictures.
All those round things are what I (for want of a better name, and to distinguish them from round thimbles or lashing thimbles or bullseyes, or sheaves) have called bobbin thimbles.
I am certain someone on here will have a better name for them, such is the way of life!
You will also see some turnbuckle top ends with a thimble in the jaw end.
To terminate;-
Splice a loose eye around the thimble.
Apply correctly sized throat seizing in correct position to retain thimble.
Q.E.D.
Joe.
