One of the stops that fit onto the mainsheet track and prevents the traveller from moving has broken.
I bought a replacement pair but what should have been a 10 minute job isn't. They don't fit. The 'I' section of the track is not the same for the old stopper as the new stopper. Rats.
Now I could try machining the stoppers to get them to fit but I don't have the facilities.
Another option is to replace the track.
The track is curved to fit the back edge of the cockpit.
How or where would I get the track bent to match the existing?
Many thanks in advance.
