Hi, I have a charleston mast with furling main. The boom car is a lewmar on a 1 inch track (see pic). The car has lost its ball bearings and has a crack, I've been trying to find a new one but no one sales it, has anyone replace this car with one of the new ones lewmar make? Which one?
Thanks for any recommendation!

Might be custom for Catalina. Here's the Lewmar catalog: [url]http://www.lewmar.com/cms/assets/1/Catalogues/Lewmar-English-lr.pdf[/url]
Looks like "size 1" hardware. One option is to customize your own by choosing the car, the block, and other hardware because each end has a tapped hole for sheaves, becket, etc. Page 144. In this way, you might be able to reuse your block.

Nick, thank you so much, I had no idea you could customize lewmar cars.
Looking at the catalogs and online it looks like the replacement would be this one:

Hope that is the right one!
