1. Get some SMALL alligator clampsHi, I am looking for some thread clamps / grippers of a kind as on attached pictures. I am so far not able to find anything even close on Amazon or elsewhere. This is to hold the ropes in serving machine. The crocodile clamps provided with the machine do not hold the thread properly. Please help!

1. Get some SMALL alligator clamps
Great use of non-shipbuilding materials. I love the idea of using these electrical fittings. I have a lot of them in a box somewhere!Thanks, Thanasis. Serving machine helps to wind a thin thread around a rope. See pictures below. Fortunately and accidentally an idea came to me that I can use electrical wire connectors for my purpose. These can clamp a rope or hooks. The shafts are a steel wire salvaged from a coat hanger, the type they give at dry cleaning shops.
