Looks good, Bent. Could you sell me such a thing? I don't have the tools (or the skill) to make one myself.

How do you loop the ends of Carter pull rods?
I have a Carter with the brass barbells that slip into the bell cranks. I can thread pull rods, no problem, but I don't know how to put the loop in the other end to precisely fit the barbell.
How do you do that?
How do you do that?
