Help with sourcing a replacement roller?

[kcrane]

Can anyone point me in the right direction to source a replacement for this nylon roller?

It is 38mm wide and has a diameter of 42mm, with a hole through the centre which is 8mm.

As you can see it has a groove cut into it by the tender retrieval cable and needs replacing. Princess Parts drew a blank, though it was originally fitted during build.

A precision engineering firm will make one up to the correct specs if you take it to them.

select:

natural
500mm
45mm

take that to any metalwork shop with fiver for a pint and the job is done.

Try Cooney Marine, they supply most boat builders, or failing that have one made.

Thanks for the help all!

if you can't find one on the shelf somewhere, just ask someone with a lathe to clean up the radius in the one you already have and refit it the other way round rather than make a new one.

I'm on holiday for a couple of weeks but I'll happily make you one when I return.

Fab, I will take you up on that PM when you are back and I'll sort out getting you the damaged one as a guide.
Thanks again...

My tech studies teacher from 45 years ago, in the old block of my O level school, that's the last person I knew who had a lathe
I obviously move in effete social circles !

We're due back a week on Wednesday but the boat is in Torquay and plan to be down on Thursday (next day) if that helps? I think we met at LIBS didn't we?

 

[kcrane]

Yep, we did, but I'm in Lincolnshire mid-week, so unfortunately not in the S West. Would it work for you to PM an address and I can send the old roller?
