Diameter of the masthead bail for the spinnaker block

What is the diameter of the "U" shaped masthead bail for the spinnaker block? I don't want to get up there and find out the block I have is too small to fit the bail.

If you don't get a reply. I would go to West Marine and buy thee blocks of different sizes, then after I put the correct size one on the mast I would return the two that I didn't need.

Or simply call Garhauer and tell them what you need. Might as well get the right part to start.

I second what Bruce said.  Most likely they will steer you to their 40-13 series swivel blocks.  I believe the diameter of the material for the masthead bail is 5/16".  Hope this helps.
