Miscellaneous parts thread - 04/02/12 07:53 PM
I thought it might be helpful to others to create a thread for sourcing the miscellaneous parts that are not typically found in your local chandlery.
Drilled head bolts, used with safety wire to hold the prop shaft in place. From you guessed it drilledheadbolts.com, SDH62J1 DH SS Hex Bolt 7/16"-14 X 1" length was the correct one for my original transmission with a 1" shaft. Don't ask how we lost one of these bolts (it's probably in the hidden bilge) or what happens when you do.
Rig-Rite Gooseneck Toggle Tack Assembly with Reef Hooks for 3/8" Vertical Pin: K-10345A (search down the page) & Clevis Pin: K-CP6-76 3/8" diameter with 2 3/8" grip length. Thirty years and several times on the vise with a hammer meant that the holes for mainsail tack fast-pin wouldn't line up anymore and the pin kept popping out. After all those stories about delays from Rig-Rite this arrived within two days of my phone order, though I probably could've bought the clevis pin cheaper locally.
This part fits between the inboard end of the boom and the mast fitting like this:
Spring pin for the hinge of the standard small hatch (Bomar/Gray/Pompanette 900 series) under the boom or over the head. From McMaster-Carr 92373A189 18-8 Stainless Steel Slotted Spring Pin 1/8" Diameter, 1-3/4" Length bag of of 50. If you fail to dog the hatch and catch a sheet or halyard on it it usually just breaks the hatch cover. Luckily this time it was just the pin. I didn't need 50 but they were $5.25 each from Pompette. PM me if you need one. I had to drill out the old pin and worried about breaking hatch when I hammered the new one into place, but it worked out OK.
