Spreader base castings

Hi all,

New members here :)  We appear to have misplaced a spreader base casting from our newly-acquired 1993 C36 somewhere between MI and NY.  Catalina Direct says they've discontinued the part Z2556 and are replacing it with a new part...12-weeks from now.  I'm trying CD tech support today to see what can be done and we have a couple riggers looking thru their dusty collections of stuff. 

That said, if you know a summer-saving workaround for a missing spreader base, we and our boat would be most appreciative.

Thanks in advance,

-Keith

Update...we found it under the marina mast rack and we are very grateful.  That said, as of right now Catalina Direct is not making a new run of these at all.  Tech support says they would need to order 200 to make it worthwhile to restock.  Couple riggers said a good machinist can probably make these.  Someone else suggested rigrite and someone else suggested a salvage yard.  We've left our names on the 'interested' list at CD when they do finally make a run of them.
