Safe working load

I am fitting a folding padeye to my bowsprit in oder to attach a block for the asym spinnaker trim cord. (boat 21ft, spinnaker sail area 245sq ft). What SWL deck gear should I get?

I used 8mm Barton turning blocks for my Cruising Chute on my 23footer, and 8mm sheets and tack rope. I also used 8mm Barton stanchion blocks to lead the tack rope aft, and a Spinlock spring jamming cleat. Could have used 6mm but it is easier to handle the 8mm. 6mm eyebolt is more than sufficient, use a large backing washer to spread loads as evenly as possible.
Mine works a treat, have had it operational at the high end of a F4 on a fine reach, which was enough to heel the boat alarmingly!!! Easily controlled with sheets though.
