Damaged plastic \"collar\" for chute snuffer

Can anybody give me link to a company who could sell a replacement collar for my snuffer - the plastic has cracked quite badly and needs replacing

Most sailmakers will probably supply. Personally I prefer the sewn in stainless steel rings for the opening, won't split and shred the sail, and the weight of the ring helps with speedy dousing.

Interesting. I would like to make our own snuffer and I would have acces to a supplier of stainless rings. Any chance of getting a picture of a sewn in ring? I have no idea what this would like like... Also, could you give me a clue about the size of the ring compared to spinnaker surface or mat hight?

Thanks
