A neat and simple way to adjust the length of an existing stay and also add the ability for movment,is to fit a toggle.Toggles come in many sizes and shapes,these 316 stainless steel ones are in a cast form.

Left click the picture to view in a larger size,there are two toggles on this fitting,one is the wrapped steel plate that is a part of the Noresman rigging screw design,then the cast 316 stainless steel one below.This allows tuning of the length of the rigging stay but also gives good movment and allows the assembly to line up perfectly. Never leave stainless rigging so that it is loose when you handle it,the wire can work and cause fractures then,normally as it exits the swage terminals.
A set of eight of these cast 316 stainless toggles were the perfect solution to tune a mast on a local yacht.
