This last weekend we completed our first annual condition inspection and while taking a rest, I painted the tie down eyes to match the plane then spied some UMHW tape laying on the bench and I decided to use some of this to save some paint wear on the plane.
First, cut a small square, outline the 3/8" eye bolt on the paper side of the UMHW tape, fold in half and cut the hole out like we learned in elementary school.

Remove tape and slide sticky side down so it adhears to the shoulder of the eye bolt.

Then carefully use a razor blade and trim next to the shoulder.

Now you have an eyebolt that will be more user friendly to your plane.
