Where can I find this hanging kit piece? Pic inside.

I ordered some hanging kits and what I expected to get is a bit different than what I thought I would get.

I need more like the top one in the pic.

Which will enable me to screw it into wood.

Does anyone know where I can purchase them?

Thanks,
Sean

Did you try Lowes or Home Depot? At my local Lowes, they have the stainless braided cable and all sorts of attachements. You could use a standard thimble and cable swage to make the loop you need.

Here is a pic of how it goes together

Obviously that kit from Aircraftspruce is more expensive than what you'd get at Lowes, but the stuff is out there. Check on the aisle with chain and rope.

I believe the Aquactinics hanging fixtures use that kind, at least the my old Solar Flare did.

Any of their dealers like saltycritter or aquariumspecialty can definitely order it, or they may have it in stock themselves, I thinks its about $35.
