Can anyone identify this furler (2)

Hopefully someone will recognise this - need assembly and/or fitting instructions

Looks like a Colne Brook, do not think parts are available any more!

Thanks. What is there seems in good nick, but I need to marry it up with a foil section of some kind - unless it's a furler, has no foil and is of no use as a reefing system?

Looks frighteningly like the Rotostay system that I had on the front of my old Pegasus 700. The whole thing (including the wire forestay) rotates when furling, right?

The latest intel suggests that they haven't been made in a few years. All is not lost, however, as XW Rigging at Haslar Marina can service and fix them.

No connection, just a satisfied customer...

think you're right, my own investigations threw up a similar result. The main difference though, seems to be the fitting on top of the drum where the foil would attach. The Rotostay type D, which mine matches in all other respects, has an integrated shaped stainless tongue which the foil slides over, then held by machine screws. Mine just has a large plate with three holes. I'm puzzled as to how a foil could be attached to this, suggestions welcome!
The drum and swivel have come apart easily enough, bearings need cleaned but are sound.
