lost in transit

[ghostlymoron]

Whilst towing my newly acquired Mirror Offshore 19 footer from Norfolk to shropshire, I have lost the gooseneck fitting off the mast and a couple of nice bronze turnbuckle ends. I don't want any advice on securing all fittings but would appreciate possible sources for replacements please.

For "previously owned" I would be tempted to give the Chandlery Barge a ring (Hamble) - they have a lot of stuff in their yard and may have what you need...

Any of these any good???

Thanks Fantasie, I thought no-one had heard my plea!
Good news is that the bronze turnbuckle ends have turned up.
No luck yet on the gooseneck but a forum member has offered to take some pics of his which should be identical to mine as it's the same model of boat. At least then I will know exactly what I'm looking for and can circulate it round. I'll certainly give the chandlery barge at Hamble a ring - thanks for the contact. I'll try and find some other places that deal in pre-owned bits. The modern ones from Holts are a different design, mine is a sliding fit into the mast.
The search continues............
I'd be glad to hear from anyone who knows of a used chandlery.

A photo of what you actually need would be very helpful if you can get one posted, you never know someone might have one in thier shed?

I'm waiting for photos to arrive. Unfortunately I can't take one myself as mine is probably lying in the road somewhere between here and Norfolk.

Lots there mate. PRS 89-44 AWB is how I'm expecting it to look when I get photos from applescruffs but 3/4" track. Don't know if proctor are still going but will check them out.

Might be worth having a look here if you are free on Sunday - I found 2 bronze turnbuckles for our stays (20ft Vivacity), for a few quid, they would have been £15 each if bought new....
