Run the pole through a stainless ring below the bridle instead of drilling holes in the middle of the pole for rivets. Similar to what is attached.

My I-17R used a ring that had three eyelets welded on at 12, 4, and 8 o'clock for the guy wires. It also had heat shrunk rubber on the pole in the area where the ring made contact.

Nice idea! I saved the image to see who and where can I get this done. I love it. Thank you very much.
