I have used similar anchors with the 3-guy forged eye.
My solution was to use an in-line turnbuckle with forged eyes
at each end. A short piece of cable with guy grips at each end
was used was used to connect the turnbuckle to the anchor.
Using this technique, it is a simple matter to install a safety
by merely extending the line above the turnbuckle to another
guy grip placed through the anchor eye, in parallel with the
turnbuckle.
