Ok my friend here you go. I wanted to use cotter pins like the original so to create the illusion I used cut cotter pins. I then pinned them into a bore which I threaded thus the bottom of the hanger. I then tapped the top part and rounded the head creating the illusion of the welded, solder, top part. The front grommet was done the same way with a hole drilled thru it to take the front hanger. It was a lot of fun to make and even more fun to give to Eddy. I have to thank VB, as it was his collection that inspired me to make the plug. I fell in luv with it as soon as I saw it. I thought insect at first and then black widow, thus the red hourglass. Thanks again for the accolades I am truly flattered.
