I recently had a fairly several accidental jib and ended up breaking off the traveler turning on the port side. This is the original Schafer traveler. When I tried to remove the set screw that holds the blocks and cam cleat assembly in place it was frozen and broke. I have rigged up a temporary system that works pretty well but would like to fix it correctly. The problem is that even if I can drill out the set screw, the traveler track is to long for the car to slide off the end before its stopped by the edge of the cockpit. I've also tried an impact driver on some of the track screws and they don't budge. I would think the screws are through bolted but is so the nuts are hidden by the aft cabin fiberglass head liner. It only way to access them looks to be cutting through that fiberglass liner and I don't want to do that.
My questions are has anyone ever replaced the traveler rail or end cards and does anyone know if the traveler is through bolted or how to remove it? In a slightly related question, I want to replace some of the cabin top clutches and again assume that they would be through bolted but again if so the nuts would be behind the main cabin fiberglass liner and are not excisable.
