Dave,
Attached is a picture of the spin sheet ratchet blocks and tennis ball. The
ball is flipped up to show the eyestrap and D-shackle. I used a saddle
ferrule eye and tied the shackle pin to prevent loss. The eyestrap is mounted
to
10-32 T-nuts and large backing plate, with large fender washers. The ratchet
block has a switch to enable/disable the ratchet.
