You can replace forestay with wire. Much cheaper option than anything else

I removed foils and am trying to install Seafurl 5 (aka Hood) H253. I have a Navtec 0.25" rod stay. It appears none of the components of the seafurl will fit over the coldheaded turnbuckle or the eye at top of stay. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bw4NOPYfe9OWRHd3WnpyS0M3cWs&usp=shar ing I'm taking it in tomorrow to hopefully find a solution. By phone it was suggested I bring in mast with it!! Not going to happen. They wanted to assemble the entire furling system on the stay and keep stay stiff when shipping, which is why the mast was to go with it. Otherwise, the option is to drill out the peen, screw off eye, replace peen with screw and send me on my way. I will need to load stay with furler from top down then mount eye at top of stay. That means I either step the mast or work on boat from top down. None of this sound really good to me. Anyone experience something that works best?
