The standing rigging uses 3/16" wire for the cap shrouds, forestay and backstay. The forward and aft lowers are 5/32". Therefore, the fittings for the wire will defined by that wire size. For instance, when you look up something like a terminal stud, or a marine eye, it will list the wire size it is designed to fit. From there the appropriate fitting will state things such as thread diameter, clevis pin size etc.

You can also take a look at Catalina Direct's offerings, it might help a bit.
