Hunter 28.5 Solomons Island
I recently bought a 1988 h28.5. While removing the mainsail, I noticed that the plastic piece that covered the hole in the mast for the mainsail slides was broken. What is this piece called and can it be replaced? If so, do you know where one can be found / purchased? It looks as though it was originally riveted on.

M&T:

I think you boat had an Isomat spar. Rig-rite has these parts. The gate for the slugs was made from metal and there was a thumb screw that kept it in place.
