Hunter 376 plastic sail slides

[Diablito]

Greetings all,
I have a 1997 Hunter 376. I purchased her in July of 2014 and renamed and documented her as Mer-Sea Beaucoup (my wife's very good name choice).

Anyway, one of the plastic sail slides broke and I haven't been able to find a duplicate. The problem is the narrow neck required for the channel in the mast extrusion.

I took the pieces to West Marine (about half a mile from our condo) and found nothing comparable. All had wider and shorter necks (for lack of the correct term).

Who made them and what is the part number or replacement number.

Thank you.

Fair Winds,

Diablito

Check with Bainbridge International. Replace the nylon with a metal slug.

Thank you. I didn't consider a sail loft as a retailer of anything as small as track slides.
Cheers!

Also take a look at sailrite.com, in the hardware section, slugs and slides.

Paul,
Thanks. I had hoped to find stock somewhere within a 25 mile radius of Marina del Rey. No luck
The Selden mast requires an uncommon slide.
I found both the nylon and stainless at Bainbridge International and at Sailrite.com, but I had visions of replacing it this weekend. Didn't happen so, hopefully at Bainbridge's "stockist" in Huntington Beach or online.
Thanks again.
Tim

Thanks to all. Mare Co. (Mare Sails) sells retail.
I'm opting for stainless and should have them before this weekend.
Best to all of you.
