The clevis pin is threaded all the way through, so you unscrew it halfway, (or a little more), and the fitting is free of the rigging. The opposite end is the usual swaged loop. The resulting fitting is pretty small and unobtrusive.

That looks promising. I've been thinking of ordering a full set of the MR steel clevises (which apparently are now electroplated to look like brass).
