I recently got a part for my 1988 Lewmar 30ST from Yachparts in Plymouth. Make sure they know it's an old one as some of the parts are not the same as on modern winches having the same model name.

If you think its worth having complete working spares then if you're interested I've got in my garage two tatty but working Lewmar 40s believed from 1988 which I replaced with self tailers.

Not sure what part you are after but I was quite surprised to find a number of Lewmar Winch spares at the Chandlery in Cowes. You could be lucky. (The Chandlery at the top of the hill as you go past Sainsburys on the left.)

Archie, Do you have allen bolts in the top of your winch? Any chance you could upload a photo?

Try contacting www.slspares.co.uk. They carry a range of spares for obsolete Simpson Lawrence and Lewmar winches and windlasses. Very helpful.

Your shards of plastic were probably GRP Lewmar early self tailers were GRP top and lower crown . You will need the part no. it is all online somewhere mostly on usa sites the dealers there are more forthcoming with information and detailed drawings . The early self tailers were identified mainly by the number type and arrangement of allen bolts on the top . I suggest you post a photo showing the top view .

No problems buying from US other than they use expensive couriers
