Bow Roller Material?

[bluerm166]

If you have the lewmar extending roller fitting as ref 66840007,8 or 9 the roller is about 80mm wide ,narrow waisted and centre grooved I had a similar event ,hitting an immovable object,in which the anchor shattered the roller and the axle was bent to a U shape.
Needing to get back in order quickly I bought a replacement ,apparently by Lewmar,for about £50 including express delivery from marine Superstore.There are other suppliers of the Lewmar item on the web possibly cheaper.

Whalebone, for bragging rights and biodegradability.

Why would the Op buy 80mm if the size he needs is 110?

Thanks, but these stemhead fittings weren’t produced in volume. I’m expecting to have to have a roller turned up.

Send me your required dimensions and I'll give you a quote

But did not the OP specify 110 * 100? Making that link pretty much irrelevant for the OP

Possibly they do a larger roller on that website and just might save if nothing else some considerable amount of effort ?

So come on, help the OP out. Point to one please

Because he is going to turn the item and needs a margin to mount it in the lathe by the method he envisages.

That’s really kind, thanks. I’ll try and get some accurate dimensions for the chain guide groove over the weekend, a pic, and send you a PM. Width of the roller is about 110mm (but I’ll double check), 100mm diameter and machined for 10mm chain.

I did look, but without success I’m afraid. Thanks anyway.
