Lewmar 19831400

[BrendanChandler]

<span style="color:blue"> Hi Gurus,

During a crossing last week, the sheave of a Foot Block (I thought that they were called Turning Blocks) which feeds a genoa sheet to the main winch at the correct angle broke into 3 pieces.
It was 20 years old and had done 5 Atlantic crossings, so it did not owe me anything.

I have a major problem in replacing/repairing the block. Its cheeks are metal and there is a Stainless Pin holding the 'axle' for the sheeve whic is also stainless, I believe.

The nuts to which the block is bolted are, together with a backing plate, glassed into the hull and I therefore badly need to use the same holes if possible.
I have identified it as a Lewmar 19831400 No 3 with Delrin sheave. I am told that it is no longer supplied by Lewmar.

Is there anybody who stocks old Lewmar blocks?

Is it possible to have a Delrin Sheave made?
If so, how do I remove the stainless pin holding the axle which seems to be a stainless pipe?

Any advice or guidance from you Gurus would be very welcome.

Brendan

If you look at page 12 of the 2007 Finnish Lewmar catalouge, you'll see your part is listed at 104 something or the others.

Must still be available.
