If the look and function are ok, it would most likely be easier to just shorten the lifelines. I shortened the top lifelines on my 27 in order to lower them down a bit at the bow pulpit and cause less wear on the genoa. Clamp type fittings that can be slid up and down the tubing made the exact length non critical and the adjustment easy. I forget what I was charged for the swaging, but it was not a lot of money at the time.

The only thing obvious is that the life lines are slack (more than the threaded adjustments are capable of adjusting for) but, the bent pulpit is still "somewhat" symmetrical. So, at a minimum I need to bend it "forward", bend the uprights forward relative to the base. While there is a lot of information from a lot of folks about how to repair the bent pulpit, I can't find any dimensional information about the pulpit to see where I need to bend it back to. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
