Hunter 260 replacing mainsail slides and shackles

[dfos]

We have a 1999 H260 and one of the plastic shackles broke this weekend... We are going to replace them all.... I believe I need 7/16 slugs but what size shackles to fit to the grommets properly?? of course we didn't bring the broken one home. Anyone have measurements? These are the slugs we are going to purchase

On several occasions, I have contacted the SBO store for Hunter parts and they were able to find them for me. They have found spreader brackets, turn buckle shanks etc. and on one occasion they had a part made for me...(that little spacer that goes between the sheaves at the base of the mast). I have also purchased a companionway cover and it fit perfectly. If you can't find the part on the HunterOwners.com site, just call them and ask. They can usually run it down for you. So far they are batting a 1000 for me.
