Use tips made for 1” webbing. They measure less than 1” in diameter. The guy on eBay is correct. Here’s a tip for pressing the tips onto strap ends if you don’t have an actual press. I flip the jaws of my vise to the smooth side out, lightly lube the jaws so the ball tip slides as it presses...
For your consideration, my M38 with M416. Not pretty, but she’s a runner. M38 has original drivetrain and 24v. Snails pace restoration since I’ve owned her over the last 12 years, but she‘s been drivable the whole time. Completely original M416. I don’t believe I‘ve submitted for MV of the month...

My dad had a 40’ flatbed decked with diamond plate steel. I never thought it was too slippery in the rain, especially after years of use and some surface rust on it. I debated putting diamond plate or expanded steel on my trailer, but it's a 7k lb light duty car hauler and I don't have a lot of...
That would’ve worked, thanks for reaching out. However, I ended up getting it shipped yesterday.
