Replacement sheaves

[richardsnowstar]

I have a a genoa car and a cheek block where the sheaves have broken, probably due to UV damage. The genoa car is Gibb and the cheek block is Lewmar. Can anyone recommend a source of replacement sheaves, either off the shelf or someone that will machine the replacement sheaves.

These people seem to have sheaves at a reasonable price. (much cheaper than Oz)

One of your difficulties will be to get the old sheave out. many of mine have been rivetted in.
I have been able to grind off the end of the rivet and replace the rivet witha bit of stainless steel tube and a bolt through the middle.
The tube allows the bolt to be tightened up so the tube is pressed between the cheeks. You may need another tube to fill between the sheave hole size and the tube. I have replaced most of my sheaves now due to UV degradation Oz sun is abit harsh.
good luck olewill
