Anyone any idea how to source a replacement Lewmar D2 Superlock Rope Clutch Replacement Handle? They are discontinued and the middle one in a triple block has just snapped!

Stick a request in the 'Wanted' section, there are bound to be folk who have replaced clutches with the old ones in the shed, you might have to buy a whole clutch though but the failure is often in the grip mechanism.

Ebay, of course, seemed too obvious.

;-) Ebay it is! They've got them!

I'm wondering if the guy selling these is the chap that used to have the chandlers in Queen Anne's before he was ousted by excessive rent increases. Nice bloke, he sorted me out with a couple of handles 6 years ago

Might well be. There's a chap selling lots of chandlery from a garage/facility in middle of Plymouth. Started about 2 - 3 years ago. Good stock and can source items quickly..

There's an Andy in Plymouth who sorted out some turning blocks for me a while back and even gave me some money for the old ones.
