Broken spreader base

Postby thomasshaw » Fri Aug 09, 2013 4:51 pm

Anyone know where to find a replacement for a broken spreader base from a 1974 Proctor mast? It's one piece of stainless that wraps around the front of the mast and has two rivets on each aft side.

Thanks.

Upgrade to the high strength spreaders from D&R?

That's my backup option. I'd prefer to get an exact replacement so I don't have to drill more holes in the mast since the fittings won't match the current holes.

I'm currently checking with Selden but haven't heard back.
