So I just went up there again to fix the steaming light, and the crack is less than an inch. I'm thinkingof just keepig an eye on it to make sure it doesn't expand. If I do dynema I have to make sure shackles and thimbles are rated for same strength. Is a 1/4" stainless thimble same rating as 1/4" dyneema, 7200lbs?
