Good Evening,
I want to replace the non BB OEM low lead genoa cars with Garhauer BB cars. The OEM cars frequently do not spin, despite lubing them. I'll be staying with pin stop cars. Garhauer recommended their LLC-2 car special ordered for 1" track. (CD carries them for the same price)
The Lewmar foot blocks are also plain sheaves on SS pin. I'm thinking about also replacing these with BB foot blocks.
Garhauer said to measure the blocks and choose one off their website that fits but I'm a little concerned about matching the bolt pattern.
Catalina Direct has a custom made foot block that matches the Lewmar bolt pattern and it has High Load Needle Bearings.
I'm hoping that these changes will help with winching in the genoa sheets.
I'm sure somebody with an early 90's C30 has changed out their low lead genoa cars and Lewmar foot blocks. If so, what did you use?
Thanks
Ward
