I make the wire for the front first, make the front loop like you would for any other plug. Slide the grommet over the wire. Make a small loop in the other end and hold that in the vise, wrap the wire around itself like you are finishing a tail wrap on a normal plug. Then drill out your center hole on your head so it is slightly smaller than you're loop. Force the wire through the head. It will fit snug into the head but I epoxy it so there is no chance for the head to swivel on the wire. You must be very precise when you measure the length of the wire. too long and the space in the joint is too big, too small and you won't be able to get the wire for the rear piece through. They are a pain in the a$$ to make. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.
BA, do you use 2 grommets on the front wire?
