Can anybody recommend replacement mast sheaves? I'm talking about the sheaves at the base of the mast and their counterparts up high.
thanks, ken |

ebspars tells me they got them from laser and they don't have any more. I purchased some ronstans and I'll let you know if they fit.

| I made new ones for Vivace using UHMPE as the base material and turning the bushings from bearing suitable bronze. They have now been working for 3 or 4 years perfectly. |

Hello, Do you need to drop the mast base to service the lower sheaves? I tried to remove the bolt(s) with the mast raised and the bolts bound up. I'm thinking there is a nut inside the base. Is that correct? thanks, john |

No nuts in the mast base casting, the sheave flange is tapped. ------------- Paul White Decompression CAN 214 |
