the lifeline fork is standard sailboat hardware, and the pad can be matched with similar stuff from a sailing shop . .

Lifeline tip . . as the old Mags have eyelets through which the lifeline runs that will fray ss wire over time, use coated life lines from sailboats, but before swaging on the end fittings, slide on some short pieces of thin wall ss tube (that is well deburred), the two end pieces should have a small radius bend, and epoxy these in place to protect the cable at the bends / end stanchions.
