Sure, pix would be nice.

I thought about recommending cutting down the track, but you need to coat the exposed ends or you'll get corrosion started. Aluminum will form a skin on its own, but it's not going to be as good as the one they create when anodizing it.

I paid much less than "over $200" even in 2023 dollars, because I know about saving money - for better sails :)

Yo.

Installed jib track.

Used the Ronstan 25 t-track and composite car. Jib block is a harkin Ratchet block.

The starboard side used through bolts all the way through, the port side had good wood for ther first four screws, through-bolted for the most forward.
