How about posting some photos of the fittings in question so we can identify them?

Those are the strops that go around the deadeyes. On a real ship they’re not brass. They should be blackened or you could make more realistic ones from wire. I believe that the smaller pieces are the links that attach the deadeye strops to the hull. Again, blackened them.
