    How Do I attach continuous loops to Hennessey that only has one hole on each end?

    So, I just bought Dutchware's cinch buckles with 15" loops for converting my OLD style Hennessey with really funky old suspension. This must be one of the very earliest ones, which I bought from Tom himself at a demo, maybe the first year he introduced them.

    Anyway, went to install them per various videos, pulled back the sheaths and found only one hole instead of the usual two per end. Was planning on following the videos to the letter, but now I have no clue what to do...... I had heard that some of them only have one hole, but it seems like nobody addresses how to deal with it... Help, please!!!! Thanks in advance!

    Picture

    Hopefully pic attaches....Shown with US quarter for scale..... Seems really smaller than I expected. Might have to enlarge hole to even fit loop through.

    you may have to put the loop through the hole, wrap it around once or twice and bring the other end through the loop in the hole, tighten and dress it up and put the ends back on.

    It's hard to be sure from the pics but I think you might get the loop through. Stick a small - gauge wire through the hole, run it through the loop, and back through the hole. This will let you pull it through rather than trying to push it. Then follow DY's suggestion above.

    Thanks guys! After a few trials, I got it to work using DamnYankee's suggestion..... Well, we'll see if I did it right when I give it a go this weekend! LOL. The holes were indeed too small for the "bury" to go through. So, I repositioned them towards the cinch buckle end of the loop so I avoided the issue. Leaving the sheaths off so I can keep an eye on things......
