the lack of thimbles is not a problem, some are made without them, however, the d and d ratio needs to be correct for the eyelet to it's attachment point. if there is a kink in the wire rope, it shall not be used. if the slings were to fail with kinks in them, the user would assume the liability. to find info try osha, ansi, or one of the wire rope manufacturer's web sites such as unirope ltd. if you still have trouble finding more info, let me know, we have an extensive training program where i work. i should be able to download our rigging procedures and send to you.
