boom outhaul runner hardware
Hi, 1971 Ranger 26, Gary Mull design. Doing a bit of work on my boom over the winter here and took apart the outhaul assembly yesterday. I want to get a new one of these: http://picasaweb.google.com/cb.bradley/OuthaulRunner I've been calling it the "outhaul runner", it sits in the sail groove and has some steel cable wired back around a pulley into the boom, .. where one tightens it etc. Anyway the point is, what is this thing actually called? That bottom runner portion is 2 1/4" long on the side shot. I'd like to get something 4-6" long to reduce stress on the boom sail groove flanges, which are starting to press out. Also possibly something with a nylon runner track instead of the aluminum. I can't find the part in any obvious catalogs but if anyone has a pointer or a name or anything.. shoot! Thanks, -CB |
