Okay, I'm sorry about the spam, but I'm compelled to resubmit the question:
My '84 Monty has plastic caps at the ends of the spreaders with plastic cover pieces that are affixed to those caps with screws to hold the shrouds in place. The caps and cover pieces both have a groove for the wire. Are replacement parts available? If not, would rubber spreader-boots be sufficient to hold the shrouds? I know the spreader boots are designed to prevent sail chafe, which would suggest they're probably not sufficient for the dual function of holding the shrouds. I apologize. Y'all put up with enough gibberish from me as it is, let alone being forced to read the same question three times. However, I think the above version of the question might finally make sense. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Honshells" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 8:55 PM Subject: Clarification: Spreader Ends In re-reading this, I realize I should rephrase the following: "plastic pieces [ ] screw onto those caps" I should have said, "plastic cover pieces are affixed to those caps with screws" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Honshells" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 7:50 PM Subject: Spreader Ends My '84 Monty has plastic caps at the ends of the spreaders with plastic pieces that screw onto those caps to hold the shrouds in place.
