I'm in the process of replacing my standing rigging. This is the fitting at the bottom of my forestay. If possible I'd like to reuse it but I'll presumably need to replace the cone and cup, if it's the same idea as a Sta Lok or Norseman.

It's for a 10mm wire and has a 14mm eye. This seems to be an unusual combination.PXL_20260411_124352117.jpg

I can't seem to find an exact match with any of the main suppliers. The key things are the lock not and the two flats on the main body.

Anybody recognise it?
 
No takers?

Any ideas on how I can solve my 10mm wire, 14mm pin, conundrum? It's a problem in three separate places- this fitting, at the bottom of the forestay, and the top of both the fire and back stays, which have to fit on to a toggle in the mast box.
 
When you say bottom of forestay, is it part of a furler? The selden furler includes a Sta Lok although I can’t remember how it looked. If so could be a custom part alongside the furler?

It's an old Goiot furler and the forestay passes straight through it, being free to move up and down a few inches. The lower end has a pin which goes through the eye at the bottom of the forestay, which also attaches to two straps which go down to the stemhead.

So I'm locked in to the 14mm pin size (unless I drill out the stainless body of the furler!) but otherwise could have any fitting I want in there, it doesn't connect in any other way.

Or I keep the existing 14mm pins, but I bush out to 16mm to suit the available eye terminals?

I don't want to bodge this 😱
