columbia 7.6 Mainsheet traveller car

[tonymbsc]

Hey gang, I have lost the traveller car to my mainsheet traveller. It seems to be a size that no one makes anymore. It seems to be an old style high profile track 3/4" tall and 11/16 " wide at top edge . I am assuming that the car has a gap of 3/4'' for the track. it seems to me that the new tracks (Harken , Lewmar etc.) jump from 1/2" to 1" and larger
and therefore are either too small or too large for my track. has anyone had any experience with this and/or know of a source for these parts? Signed: Desperately Need To Go Sailing. ps 1978 Columbia 7.6

Columbia 7.6 Traveller

I had issues with my traveller car a couple of years back, and I found that Rig Rite supplies compatible parts. Check them out at http://www.rigrite.com/. Good luck!

Our Past Commodore has parted out a 26. I will see if he still has the car. I have a 1978 7.6 and I will see if what he has works.
