I have some 1/4" or 5/16" wire rope, about twenty feet or so. I want to make a sling to carry on my ATV for using with a pulley for doubling and pulling people out, or just in rescue situations. Both ends are now unfinished. I know I could put thimbles in them and Crosby clamps, or poor boy eye it around a thimble and secure with Crosby Clamps. Or just use Crosby clamps with no thimble. I could even use crimp-ons. But I have seen those pull out. I would like a true socketed eye. I have a torch to melt the metal. Is there socketing alloy I can buy in the raw, and premade sockets or a socket mold?
