Hello Paul.
Yes that was a very educational site. I was going to order 100 of the middle size eyelets but the $15 for shipping was a deal breaker for me since I only needed 3 or 4 eyelets.
Thank you for the link I will keep them in mind and did bookmark them.

I'd poke a thin piece of wire through the hole with the pin and make the
missing connections with that.
