The lock is done by tying the rope back on itself.
I would use a carabiner in there but this bare bones.

Kevin..that is a heckuvan eight...
I am inordinately fond of my porta wrap.

I want one of those good rigging thingies...will have one as soon as I get around to building the bloody thing...already have the parts scrounged.

You can't do serious work without one, I use mine on almost every job.

By the way how high up should the rope be tied to help pull it over?

The higher the better.
Shoot the throw line up,pull the rope up, tie a running bowline in your rope, pull it tight and you're good to go.

This is the GRCS truck mount from Baileys, you can use a simple rope brake on this mount as well.

Yeah, for the two grand or so that they cost, I would sleep with it like a teddy bear....those things are great...and not just for tree removal....
I can think of a few widowmakers I had to remove that would have been so much safer with one.
