Sheaves at bottom of mast

[smudger_6635]

I would like to replace some of the sheaves at the bottom of my mast but I cannot seem to find a supplier with the right size. They are aluminium, about 70mm diameter, 12mm wide with a 10mm pin through the middle. They do not have any ball bearings, just a plain hole for the pin. Does anyone know where I can buy these, preferably over the net?

Try Selden masts, they do mail order, or most riggers can get their stock. Otherwise try the manufacturer of your mast?

I have two or three knocking about (axles too I think), if you want them send me a PM with your address and I will post them to you

Who was the mast manufacturer? They probably had their own pet supplier.

You could have a look ath the Harken website - they probably have the biggest range of (expensive) pulleys.

Try MarineStore Chandlery (http://marinestore.co.uk). Search for "sheave" and put in a price range of about £1 to £10. I have just ordered some for my davits.

Thank you all. I had visited the Harken and Lewmar sites but they did not have what I was looking for. The Marinestore have them in moulded plastic type material, 45mm x 12thk x 8mm hole. This will be close enough and at 94p each, I have bought a few spares. Thanks Gin for the offer but at 94p, I might as well buy some new.
I knew this was the right place for a constructive answer!!
