Hello! I’ve got A question, I’m making lead ropes and to finish them I need to put on that metal part (NOT THE CLIP) but the Bracket sort of thing that wraps around it underneath the clip, the part that looks like a capital I, but it wraps around the rope… Do any of you know what that is called… Thanks! 
A clamp:

I won’t own a lead with a clamp on it, seen WAY too many clamped lead ropes fail at a hard pull.
Our leadropes are backbraided or knotted behind the snaps, so they can’t
fail me when I need the strength to hold a horse even for a moment.
Thank you so much!!

Yup. No clamps here, either.
You would probably be able to find them at Tractor Supply, or a similar farm store.

Not here either. Nope, nope, nope. Not when one is training young horses or handling stallions.

Thanks Tom, always good to have pictures of how to splice ropes!
No clamps for me, either.
