Ask Morrison Marine in Sacramento. He will use caution when advising on forestays and shrouds. He did mine, but be dead certain of your measurements with the hardware plus the rake you want in the mast.

Gang, I have never done swaging or watched the process, so I have to ask an ignorant question (actually, a question means one is ignorant about
something, I suppose). I need to put a new fitting at the end a stay,
but cutting the old fitting off and re-swaging will make the
wire too short. Is it possible to remove a swaged fitting without
wrecking the wire, or perhaps not put the wire all the way into the
new fitting so it won't use so much? The fitting will take 1 3/4" of wire, but I would like to use only 1". Thanks, Tom Jenkins
