[quote=kraven]Can you post a pic of your traveler, end stops, and car? Maybe they're different from mine?
The traveler car I have is riveted together and I don't think it would be strong enough if drilled, tapped, and switched to bolts in order to replaces the sheaves. I found a new one for around $50 online.
The end stops are not like anything else at West Marine or my local sail shop so no suitable replacement for them. They're mainly just ugly but still work fine.
Nautos blocks are pretty good for the money. I've been thinking about upgrading all my blocks so I've already done the research. :)
Jib blocks http://www.ebay.com/itm/120811860212 and http://www.ebay.com/itm/120852906702, 2 of each.
Mainsheet blocks http://www.ebay.com/itm/120906012830 and http://www.ebay.com/itm/120899039829
Barberhaul blocks http://www.ebay.com/itm/120855448675 and http://www.ebay.com/itm/110758693327
I also needed 4 new trapeze handles http://www.ebay.com/itm/120897467708
I asked the guy for a combo deal for all that and he quoted me $286.80 for it all. Here's the list with PN#'s
4 x NAUTOS-ITEM # 91051 Trapeze handles
2 x NAUTOS-ITEM # 92414 Jib blocks
2 x NAUTOS-ITEM # 95313 Jib blocks with cleats
1 x NAUTOS-ITEM # 92030 Mainsheet triple
1 x NAUTOS-ITEM # 92737 Mainsheet triple with becket and ratchet
1 x NAUTOS-ITEM # 91117 Barberhaul V-Jam block
1 x NAUTOS-ITEM # HT2020 Barberhaul block
I'm using the New England Ropes 8mm Bzzz line for my jib sheet, New England Ropes 4mm Finish line for the barber haul, and New England Ropes 9.5mm Salsa line for my main sheet.
If you want my old Seaway main blocks and jib blocks I could sell them to you. They're still in great shape and work fine. I'm mainly wanting the more compact setup. The single ratchet with cleat and separate double block combined into a single triple with ratchet and cleat.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by kraven on May 16, 2012 - 02:38 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
