Hi All
I need some help in trying to replace my mast spreader bars on a 1981 38' Ericson.
I had read someplace the mast was manufactures by Lefiell, but I spoke with them and they claim not to have manufactured it and have no spreader bars.
The bars look like a basic Aluminum rectangle bar with rounded edges, but dimensionally they are not standard sizes. So they dont seem to be available from most Metal supply companies.
Currently looks like my only option is to have them custom machined, but thought I would ask what others might have done.
Of course the upper and the lower are different sizes as well.
Also , The lower spreader bar broke at a location the wire halyard had started to wear a grove in the bar and the upper has a groove worn it.
Regards
Greg
