H260 from 2001 the "T-ball" connector pulled away from wires of jib, up top, what replacement connector is used now, and any chance for self fix if buy $50 of tools and parts?? I found 1 image which made me think it may be complex due to companies not making whatever Hunter was using in 2001. - D

T-Terminal types are typically used on the shrouds and much be connected to the wire with a swaging machine or with a Norse or Sea-Loc connector.
The photo you uploaded looks like part of a jib furler. I am also not sure what you mean by "wires of jib."

Sorry. My h260 had a jib furler added.. Umm, after pulling apart there are dozen yarn sized wires exposed and the T-ball connector is loose inside the laid down mast. I can fish out the connector. I am guessing there use to be a thick metal "swag" that clamped on the wires to hold them to the T-ball.... Are there any photos around of what the upper forestay looked like on the standard h260? There are few photos of upper part of mast, and the "shroud terminals" like the T-ball. Ummm. Did the T-ball have a swag right on it, or inch back, or did original T-ball have wires somehow locked into it? It's hurricane season so I dont mind few months with mast down. Thank you. - D
