Hello again Captains.
I’m back for help again. This whisker pole track stuff is making me nuts!
So, the mast is a Z Spars Z601. That’s just for information. It has no value in finding a track!
The mast extrusion has an 6.35 mm deep X 18 mm wide flat channel in the forward portion. Again, no value.
The available T tracks have 2 problems. 1st, they all have a curve at the base of the leg of the T, intended to fit the forward part of a curved mast extrusion. 2nd, the base of the leg of the T is too short to allow slides or cars to fit on the T track, due to interference by the depth of the extruded track, in the mast.
David Rainville’s H 376 whisker pole T track has a plastic or fiber back-up that fits inside of the mast extrusion and is of a height equal to the depth of the extruded track. This raises the position of the T track equal to the surface of the mast, meaning that track slides or cars will fit, perfectly.
So far I have not been able to find this backup spacer, anywhere. Nor can I find a track tall enough to adequately clear the extrusion in the front part of the mast and allow the slides or cars to move.
I truly do not want to try to wrestle the adjustable pole with a fixed ring, on the mast.
Any insights and/or recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks!
