Easy Lock Rope Clutch Handles

[JKCMBOAT]

Does anyone know if it is possible to replace the handles on this EasyLock rope clutch in the attached photo? If so, are the handles available for purchase anywhere? Looking at the clutch, it is not obvious how the handles come off (so perhaps they do not)?

1984 Hunter, 25.5

Many Thanks,

Joe

Did you look here: http://www.rigrite.com/Hardware/Rope_Clutches/Easylock_Handles.html

Yes, thanks, I found this site and another from a shop in Canada. I'm just not sure if they are the correct handle? I emailed their customer support so hopefully I'll find out soon.

I have the same clutches. The handles from Rigrite (NF 33421 H) are the right ones even though they are not painted. The Boathouse in Montreal used to carry them as well. The pin holding them is locked with a circlip (C-clip) easy to remove with a small flat-blade screwdriver.

Thanks for all the responses. I just ordered some of these handled from this outfit (link below), and yes I know see the small 'C' (or 'E') clips holding in the shafts.

And pardon my grammar above...I meant to say 'handles' and 'now' I see the C clips.... Oh well...
