Well I finally did it. Back to original design. This time it took no cutting of the mold. How did I do it???

1st I insert the stainless steel eye into mold. I close mold carefully not to move eye from the place I set it. I then pound on both sides of mold with a rubber mallet. I originally tried this months back with a vice but it didn't cut deep enough grooves into mold. Mallet did.

This took quite a few poundings but eventually I cut a grove into the mold of the eye.

And finished product. Perfectly cut into mold.

Have plans of dremeling out the mold so that I can eliminate an o ring and just attach the swivel to the eye if I so choose but that is later.
