I have a similar vintage traveler, but smaller (only 4 steel rollers on bronze bushings that I am in the process of overhauling. since mine is much smaller, I am considering just going with Delrin rollers and not using the steel rollers/bushing setup.Mitch Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17814370292098046993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048709981250437792.post-74777058418837165052014-10-23T00:04:04.632+11:002014-10-23T00:04:04.632+11:00This yacht has been around for quite a long time, ...This yacht has been around for quite a long time, and for it to be in great shape is remarkable! Good thing though that you didn’t have a difficult time looking for parts for replacement. Now, you can secure a safe sail with the worn-out parts replaced by new ones.

The shackle U (or rectangular; gone, can't tell) bolt on top exploded from metal fatigue under load and I'm looking to repair the car. The backing nut sets flush within the underside of the car and accepts the bolt threads from above. It's a thin hex head deep threaded (NSF probably) nut. Do you know where I can obtain nuts and bolt? Who is traveler manufacturer. My tag is worn.<br />Many thanks! <br />Bob S/V Siesta dosBob Pnoreply@blogger.com
