Looking to repair the jib car.
The knob with ring broke off and the only way to slide the car is pulling the little bit of stem with a pliers.
I see the plunger and spring listed in parts list for new cars, but I need the plunger for a car and track that's from 1987.
Anyone know if this part is available??? Don't want to spend upwards of $150.00 for a whole new car.
I think it's either Lewmar or Schaffer ?? Any guesses???

I'm just looking to repair the one I have, not replace it.
Good luck..... you could have taken a picture of it.... so we could determine if it was even repairable.... Of course you could remove the pin and control the slider with a line run forward to a block then back to a convenient cleat. The force of the sheet will not allow the car to move forward. I'd do that while your saving the $60 for a new slider.

The other option is to contact the manufacturer of your device and see if they have any parts.
