B473 mast car

[SettleMeDown]

Looking for car for US Spars mast on B473 to mount whisker pole. USSpars is no help. Anyone have an idea?

If you don't already have a track on the mast, you can install any brand track and car. Most mast tracks will have a curved bottom to conform to the mast shape. Have you checked SBO ?

US Spars had a built in track for a proprietary car. I just can't locate that car. What is SBO?

What is SBO?

It's the very website you're looking at right now.

Match with this. You best measure the width of your intgral track to make sure.

Nice hit, Jack. Unfortunately, they don't have it in stock. The part number 3054.

I talked to them over a year ago and they had the car, but I don't think they have confidence in it. They recommended that I not use it. I went with a Forespar track and car. See pictures at:
