4mm plastic slug sliders

[steve28]

Does any one know where i can get some 4mm plastic slug sliders to go up my plastimo foil, the diameter can be no larger than 4mm.
The only other option is to have a bolt rope put on i guess.

the reason for this is that i have had to change the furling system from a single 406 to a twin track 406t, now the old 6mm sluggs wont go into the new foil !

thanks for any help

you would think so but alas no, they do not produce one apparently.

If all else fails, try this link:

It would make an interesting exercise..

Failing that, do they have to be plastic? I'm sure someone with a lathe could do something.

Have you tried a sail-maker? I recently had plastic sliders put on my main, by Arun Sails (in Bosham, Sussex - in Chichester Hbr area). They had a collection of plastic sliders to choose from, down to some quite small sizes.

I found them very helpful with my sail repairs - worth a phone call.
