my bad ... apologies. Bronze, brass, aluminum, tin....my reading apprehension appears to be decreasing along with my eyesite.

I did notice (and checked it twice this time!) that the link you provided notes in top right "Not for lifting, hanging or other high load applications." Granted, "High Load" is a non-descript term and these will probably suffice in this application, but none of the connectors give an indication of load handling capability and that would concern me somewhat.

These guys (bosun) have a quick attach fitting that might be worth looking at too. Their printed catalog has much more detail but they have wire rod "quick Attach" Toggle Terminals to fit wire or solid rod rigging from 1/8" to 3/8". They claim that they don't list the working loads because these will be stronger than the rod (or wire) you attach them too and will not be the weakest link...another thought.
