Just received 20 Mini Leash Cup Black from Foam EZ.
I jumped on the order before learning that there were two sizes.
Curiously the cheapest shipping option listed was overnight FedEx $8.02 they arrived this morning.

Nifty little bits. simple, well made, seem to be very sturdy.
Here's some information.
Mini Leash Cups:
Diameter 31/32 (.962")
Height 9/16" (.550")
profile is three 3/16" steps, narrowest at the top diameters .862, .912, .962
There's a small brass rod 5/32" (.172") in the middle of the second step.
opening diameter is 5/8" a little less along the axis of the pin.
and the most critical dimension-- clearance at bottom of cup: .108 7/64" bottom of the cups are curved and slick.
I couldn't squeeze 3/16 nylon through, but parachute cord .150 diameter (but squeezable) went through easily.
I ran out of cordage samples at home. Is this good enough for deck lines? My Great Auk has 3/16" but that's probably too big.
Bungi cord would have a wider range.
