Rudder bushes for Westerly Konsort, Merlin and Griffon - Drawing and Possible Maker

[Andrew_Trayfoot]

Hi All,

People may not be aware that Trafalgar Yacht Services who are suppliers of all things Westerly are winding down their chandlery in Fareham (not sure about the brokerage service)..

They have very kindly given me a copy of the drawing for the Konsort, Merlin and Griffon rudder bushes which I have attached to his post with their permission.

I am hoping that a mate will be able to make me a set, but if that does not come off I will be looking for a friendly machine shop who can make a set (or 3 ) for me.

They last about 5 to 7 years on my Griffon.




A better quality copy of the file can be found here (on my OneDrive):

Any suggestions?

They are made of UHMW.


Happy sailing

I can make them in UHMW, Delrin/Acetal, or Vesconite

Drop me a PM if interested

If you get stuck i can make them but you would have to wait until i return from sailing in september.
i am based in Bradwell and can do odd jobs like this in the winter

 

[Andrew_Trayfoot]

Thank you both.
Will keep this on file if my mate can't help

Depending on the cost of making them, I'd be up to buy a spare set?

PM me if you think this is possible.

Thanks,

We now make sets in UHMW and they are usually a stock item, other materials can be made to order

 

[mickywillis]

Are these available on your website? Couldn't see them?

Any ideas how much for a set inc P+P to Epsom in Surrey?

Thanks,

Havent had chance to put them up yet - £39 a set in UHMW including VAT plus £6 postage

Would it be possible to make/supply a couple of sets of rudder bushes for a Westerly Konsort? Mine are very worn and I am not sure how to go about getting a new set.

Looks like we had enough attacks from your ISP to trigger the auto-blocking of your ISP - I've reset it so it should let you in now

Definitely interested in a set of these for our 1980 Griffon, but can't get access to your website.

Try again now - your Internet Provider had been auto-blocked due to some odd behaviour: ffsystems.co.uk - Westerly Parts (ff-systems.co.uk)

Many thanks, now working, and enquiry posted. Not odd behaviour on my part, I hope!

No, looks like the block went on a good few weeks ago

Could use a set myself but not able to access the website. Any advice?

Thanks
