![]() Hello all,
I am gathering supplies for my life line project, utilizing the Endura 12 or Amsteel Blue. Haven't decided, but leaning torward the blue as its dark blue color will match the hull color better. My question: I am having a hard time finding Round SS Thimbles on line. I have found source for brass ones. Where can I find these thimbles in stainless? I wanted to splice these in where I will be lashing the lines to the deck fitting and at the stern pulpit. I will be using 1/4" or 5/16" line. What would be the suggested size of thimble for proper amount of lashings and still be slick looking? Thanks as usual for any assistance. Bob |

![]() We have found the blue amsteel will fade very quickly and look spotty in places. You can get round thimbles in anodized alum. from Colligo...... www.colligomarine.com
They also have a video for splicing a thimble in the end of a line with out a need to have the other end.

![]() Jack,
Thanks for the information. I already ordered the amsteel, so I guess I will have to live with the fading. I will check out the website regarding the thimbles. Thanks again and fair winds. Bob |
