Dave has Stemball Fittings on his shrouds, not T-Ball fittings. He probably has a t-Ball Fitting on his Baby Stay (and on his running Back & Check Stays if he has them) but that's about it.
T-Ball fittings need the rubber plugs, Stemballs don't. A reference here: http://www.rigrite.com/Spars/SparParts/Tangs-complete/Tangs-complete.htm Ken H.
