End Stops for the self tacking jib traveller

[Mike8074]

At the end of last season, one my crew noticed that the end stop on the port side of my jib traveller is missing. I have had the boat for two years and I am not sure that the end stop was ever there. Interestingly, there is a notch carved into the car (not good!).

Anyhow, I have been in touch with superhelp people at both Catalina and Harken and apparently the old part is not made anymore (although no one can tell me the part number).

Anyone else have this issue?

Is it Harken track? (which is proprietary). There's a bunch on this page..........[ harken sail track endstop - Google Search ] ..... see anything you like. Then again, are you absolutely sure it's Harken? It could be Standard T track if the car is not Harken. If you can't tell...post a picture (only one is needed) and we'll tell you what it is.
Last resort, you can always make one out of a block of hardwood. Could be a fun afternoon project. Good luck!

Hi Team,
After a few months of research, several calls to Harken and Catalina, I have finally solved this problem.

First, the part: The part is a Harken E2200 which is also a West marine part number: Model #14136782 AKA, 22mm smallboat traveller track stops. 22mm Small Boat Traveler Track Stops | West Marine

This this was thicker than the original end stops on my 2016 boat (hull #16), I also had to replace the bolts with 16mm M6-1.0 Metric Button Head Socket Cap screws Type A2 Stainless, Course.
