Replacement old Lewmar mainsheet car

[jlavery]

I need to replace this mainsheet car - the rollers/bearings have disappeared. I want to avoid having to replace the entire track system if possible. This is on a 1987 Sweden 340.

Can any experts here identify the (old/obsolete) model?

Any thoughts as to where I might get one? I've looked on eBay - and will go to the Chandlery Barge at Bursledon tomorrow.

Pardon our interruption...
I am not familiar enough with the various tracks beyond their nominal widths.
But some years ago I used a ex Lewmar chap who was manufacturing the plastic jaw components for their older winches.
And I wondered if this listing might be similar sort of source - worth asking perhaps?

Thanks - that's a newer model. I'll try getting in touch with mainly-lewmar-spares, good idea.

You - or they- or someone - might be able to supply or swap over the cages and ball bearings and plastic slides but it’s more faffing around of course .
Best luck

Thanks - that's also an option I'm considering.
