I was able to swap some pumps that had been sitting in my basement for years for a used Harken Low Beam 1.25” traveler track with a
ball bearing “Big Boat” car and A pair of 4:1 end control blocks. There is about a 2” drop on each end of my existing Ronstan travelor that appears to be original issue on my E32. It is a pain to use.
The attached images show how my existing vise was used to incrementally bend the track to create the requisite bend. It took about 6 trips along the track with the vise to get there. Note that I used some tubing placed over the vise handle to get enough leverage.
Attaching the track over the companionway will be a pain due to the 4” hole spacing and 5/16” bolt holes but the price was right for this rig.
