I looked at the arrangements on the B14 today. The end cap seems to be a push-fit. That must be better than any fixing ,reducing kite snagging potential.
The picture with the shiny self tapper is a tear waiting to happen?

Hopefully by removing the sheave (which has metal edges and one of the existing screws) will mean we'll have a product with less likelihood to snag.

The end fitting is made from delrin and due to its self lubricating nature cannot readily be fixed with a glue.
