How many of you have thought of cheap easy alternatives to expensive fittings. I was not about to pay a silly price for a gnarly looking piece of cast muck, and was about to make some anchors when I had a thought, - jewelry! found some anchors the perfect type and size on Ali Express for $1 each (bought 4) which are already quite well presented and with a bit of a slash with the dremel, a ring and galv paint had a reasonable looking pair of stockless type anchors. Could have done a bit more to them but who gets out a magnifying glass? $2 bucks the pair and 10 mins dremel and paint PLUS you get 2 bits of useful string left over!
