Help me understand this block and fitting
Posted: Thu Feb 27, 2020 10:58 am
If I were near my boat this winter I would just take a screwdriver, remove this block and fitting, and answer my own question...
This is one of two blocks for my traveler set up, one of the blocks has a crack in the sheave / chip out and was thinking that I should replace both blocks. They look very original / old.
Is anyone familiar with this type of fitting & block from an older DS? Is it one piece (the block integrated into fitting), or if I take the screws off will I be able to replace the block and reattach the fitting? Trying to maintain any of the original hardware where it makes sense to do so.
Thanks!
