Default Getting thicker

Hi again,
Ah, I see now. Spacers would help to locate the toggle, to keep it from shifting. The shackle-outside configuration always struck me as a bit ... agricultural. On the other hand, you might have some cause to be concerned about a rig failure, as the correct pin size for 1/4" wire is 1/2", not 3/8."
Would you happen to know the tune on the backstay?
Fair leads,
Brion Toss

PS,
If you think redoing that antique stem fitting is expensive, just imagine what a dismasting would cost.
