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.
