In that case, I'd splice on a length of wire, making the tiniest and tightest knot I could with the Vise-Grip technique, then bending a German loop in the end, indexing the wrap at the speaking length hitch to locate the bend and relying on the knot and loop tightening under applied tension to determine where the wrap ends up. I'd rather err toward the bridge pin than the agraffe.
