My boom connection to my mainsheet has corroded and impossible to move to a new location as it is too far forward. Therefore, I am looking add a new boom bail with the bail plate. It is referred as a NGII Bail 47505558124 and NGII BAIL PLATE 47550553407. Does anyone know where I might find a place to purchase these parts?
Boom Bail and Plate
- Thread starter Ench2456

If you have a loose foot main, you can use flat UV resistant polyester webbing or dyneema rope wrapped around the boom. A ss ring in the webbing would serve as a good connection point for the mainsheet shackle. Very strong.
Or...you can peruse the rig - rite site for something similar to yours. I went ahead and quick searched rig rite and you have a Z Spar boom here's the link....

@Ench2456 from the image it appears to be riveted into the base of the boom.
Why not drill out the rivets and replace with another fitting.
Something like this.
