subject: Forestay turnbuckle bolt bent - replaceable? Or do I have to

---

Currently in the process of "polishing up" a MkI we picked up last year.

The turnbuckles for all the standing rigging (the forestay, the sidestays and the backstay) are all fairly well distressed so we're replacing them.

The bolt that attaches the forestay to the turnbuckle is itself bent. Can this piece be replaced, or am I looking at replacing the whole forestay? I can't see how to remove this piece from the wire.

Thanks all!
