Craft supplies has the kit below. Looks like they are turned like to canteen stoppers

This is different from the ones I take done. The pull kits I accept used were 1/4" assurance on the end of a Length of pull chain. An one/viii" through hole for the concatenation and a ane/4" blind hole for the ball. A plug could exist made to embrace the pigsty or the brawl was fine showing likewise.

you can easily make your ain kit similar to the one higher up past turning a wooden cap with a i/viii" hole that you glue(epoxy) a length of concatenation in and the glue it into a turned pull. That receives tchoa with a 1/4" pigsty. A 1/4" drill fleck drilled into a block in a duck and left volition be a mandrel.
I have a step drive center with various diameters i use for thing similar this.

I used to use a pull chain connector as a finish. Drill a through pigsty for the chain and a counter bore in the bottom to have the connector. To get the concatenation thru you lot tin also c'bore the superlative to clear the concatenation.

You can also wrap a thin wire around the chain after it is inserted in your pull to increment the diameter to fit in a c'bore.

With the appearance of the remote controllers for ceiling fans and lights the ones you buy now don't require them.

Thanks but I don't demand the kit or anything else. What I need is a very small piece of flat metal with a notch that slips between the beads and and then is pulled into the turned piece. Fits by friction.

I would have a difficult time cut out a piece no bigger than a match head. Don't beverage and rarely have a soft beverage.
