T-Ball Swage & Fittings
T-Ball Backing Plates are used on Masts to provide a sleek, lightweight, non-protruding attachment for Rigging. Common fittings for them include Swage and Mechanical terminals for Wire, as well as those for attachment of Rope and Rod fittings. As measurements vary widely, it is recommended that T-Balls be replaced only with the same type as original.
*Please note that swage terminals are meant for professional installation only, and must be assembled with specialized swaging machines by professionals.

  T-Ball Eyes - N744
T-Ball Swage Fittings are sometimes used for Forestay attachment on smaller boats. Featuring an eye on the bottom of a standard T-Ball, a T-Ball Eye is used with a Rigging Toggle when greater strength and articulation is required, or when adding a Furling System. Both items are required to maintain any Furling warranty.
Suitable for use with both Gibb and OS Backing Plates.
