Snapfurl forestay replace?

[Brion Toss]

Hello,
Is the foil damaged? If not, it is probably possible to cut off the top terminal, tape it non-bulkily to the new wire, and feed in and out, then put a Sta-Lok or the like on the new bottom end. If that fails, it can still be possible to round the tip of the new wire and twirl/push/shake your way in. This is how we do it with other furlers, even those that are relatively easy to disassemble.
Sometimes you have to shorten the top foil, in order to make a Sta-Lok possible. In that case you can thread in from the bottom.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
