Sail Track Slot Cover

[Concerto]

Does anyone know where to get the small aluminum strips that close the mainsail slug slot. On a previous boat, a Catalina 25, there were two pieces which fit into the slot and screwed into the mast to allow the main to drop all the way to the boom. On Concerto I have a screw in the sail track just above the slot to stop the slugs from popping out when the sail is lowered. I'd love to get the main all the way down so the head board fits inside my Lazy Bag.
Once again, any help or advice would be deeply appreciated.

You probably use a slug stop today. I installed the mastgate mentioned already on my macgregor. Had to close the slot first. My Hunter uses something like the thumbscrew gate from rigrite.

We have no mastgate but a screw is threaded in as a sailstop

I second Cowpokee's recommendation of Mastgates.com. Tom Luque is a gem of a person with whom to do business, and he has a very good product that is an excellent solution to your problem.
