Hi Matt, You might want to move from the ball and socket design and go simple with a loop on the car and regular trigger jaw setup.

Here are some examples.. https://www.atlanticriggingsupply.com/sc1sppocarwh.html https://www.velasailingsupply.com/forespar-utr-200-ef-pole-end-fittings/?sku=FR304060&gclid=Cj0KCQiA7aPyBRChARIsAJfWCgLHu4RmiveRBeD8QBS74zQ5CufVmcmKgR2aNVn7cZxeFtL0jvAmAHgaAslgEALw_wcB Best of luck on the project! -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA
