Hi!
The Facnor C38 halyard swivel of my SD180 furler system got from sticky to stuck with time. That is ok after 17 years in service. Still I would like to redo it now instead of spending an astonishing sum of money to Facnor for new ones.
For me, the problem doing that is with the spare parts : Identifying the correct dimensions without pulling apart my Drum. And: Tracking down sources.
Following is a collection of my informtion so far. Please help me complete it.
Much information was taken from this excellent thread, dealing with refurbishing a Facnor SD165 system. The most important information besides dimensions I personally got out of that one was that it is indeed possible to refurbish the facnor system. Thanks guys over there.
Refurbish Swivel C38/R24 (for Facnor SD180 Furler system):
According to the Facnor 2018 pircelist, which contains a swivel drawing, the following is needed to refurbish:
2 x External Circlip Stainless Steel 58mm
Source: External Circlip (1400) Stainless Steel 58mm Shaft
1 x Internal Circlip Stainless Steel 75mm
Source: Internal Circlip (1300) Stainless Steel 75mm Shaft
1 x Internal Circlip Stainless Steel 72mm
Source: Internal Circlip (1300) Stainless Steel 72mm Shaft
2 x thrust roller ball bearing stainless steel: 58mm x76mm x9mm dxDxB (Inner Diameter x Outer Diameter x width)
Source: ??
OR:
dimensions of the balls and source ??
Refurbish Drum D180:
I did not find any dimensions. According to the drawing, these parts are needed, from top to bottom:
Oil seal (dimensions COULD be: 6x76x8mm Source COULD be: 56x76x8mm Nitrile Rubber Rotary Shaft Oil Seal with Garter Spring R23 / TC Simply Bearings Ltd
circlip Dimensions? Source?
Thrust roller ball bearing stainless steel

You see, there are still a couple of questionmarks. Very much appreciated if you...
...can you please supply dimensions of the swivel bearings balls?
...can you please supply dimensions for all parts of the Drum D180?
...can you please supply a source for bearings, balls, oil seals, circlips if above are missing/ faulty.
This is for a 2003 Beneteau 423 by the way.
Thanks a lot.
