Looking for Black Plastic Thimbles

[ggray]

Does anyone know where these might be found? I have seen them, perhaps not as small as I want-- 1/4 inch.
Thanks!

All right! Thanks!

Samson Ropes have them. Made in Canada for them and they are very good ones.

Thanks.

I had seen a made up anchor line, Samson 3 strand with the black plastic thimble, but inquired of the supplier rather than Samson. Guess I picked the wrong company as no joy in response today. I'll try Samson now.

Just curious, but why would you want plastic thimbles rather than hot galvanized or stainless??

To simplify the description, it will be part of the topping lift and therefore at times will be slatting against the main.

The other possibility is to use ss, and wrap most of the thimble with marline.

But I do think there is a place for plastic thimbles.
