Replace it is my vote - a kink is weakening - and 5/16 in wire is for a
big 45 ft + mast I take it.

Thanks to every one.
I'll place an order for a replacement.
The bulk of the work is to remove the furler and re-installing it.
I'll bring the old forestay to the rigging shop, this way I will be sure
that the dimension
from hole to hole is the same.
