Thimbles needed in Dyneema Lifelines

[andert]

Gents who've done this...

Do you use any kind of end hardware to form the gate? I see Johnson Marine has some fittings for rope lifelines, and there was another elegant pelican hook out there...what about the end that the pelican hook hooks to? Just a sail thimble, or do you splice on some kind of eye fitting?

Thanks,
