I do not know who made the splice on Bad Kitty, but I did some talk
to the owner (I was interested to know what had happened).
The splices used was only a burry splice (not the recommended
Brummel)the tail of the splice was also way too short.
On the other hand Layline have been selling from time to time my
parts but not my spliced rigging.
