Mainsheet track match?

[tonyleigh]

I have identified my track as Lewmar Solent - now obsolete. It is a 30mm "I" bar, slightly convex upper surface, with a 9mm lip either side of the 12 mm "I" bar. Height 28mm. I need to replace the adjustable stoppers which have a distinctive rectangular ridged lifting bit. All avenues for spares appear exhausted but it occurs to me that others may have replaced similar track and have now unwanted stoppers in their gash boxes which they would happily sell on? Very reluctant to replace perfectly good track and car if it can be avoided and happily pay fair price and postage. Thanks.

I am aboout to replace the Lewmar track on my boat it has pin stops on it. If you can post a picture of yours it might be the same. You would be welcome to mine as spares.

Barton may do compatible parts. www.bartonmarine.com

If all else fails, change from pin stops to a continuous rope pulley system, and then wonder why you didnt do it years ago.

Herewith image. It is of course upside down to show the track slot and

the plunger (8 or 9mm)
Many thanks.

Thanks but my plunger system is much quicker and simpler for my style of single-handed sailing with a relatively small high aspect main and front of cocpit track layout.

'Fraid not. Different profile and sizes.

The ones I am replacing look the same. I will check the measurement, during the week, if they are OK, they are yours!
