Robbin...
I have a box full of those custom sheaves. (if you have the stock masthead from
the old days). Give me a call on Monday and I will send you some. These are for
the
1/8th inch wire halyard. In order to use all rope, you're going to have to
widen the groove
for the rope. We use all rope these days. What I did was install a 1/4 inch
bolt with nut
in the center and chuck the bolt into a high speed drill press (vertical
lathe...). Then
just held a series of files and sand paper to widen the groove to accomodate
the rope.
Now days we use the dwyer masthead for the DM-6 mast; it's already set up for
rope.
(part number DH-106)
