mast fitting

[donelanc]

Hi
I have a 272 le and a friend was trying to get the anchor light going (not in water yet) He took apart plate on the top of mast and took out a metal cylinder with two white plastic washers, or grommets One was either worn or was that way to let something pass through. I wasn't watching and he doesn't remember where he took it out from! Seems like something to protect halyard but don't know.
the metal cylinder is 1 1/2'' x 3/8'' and the two plastic pieces are 3/4'' by
1/2'' in width leaving a space between them. Any help as to where these go would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
Paul

Maybe take some pictures of the masthead and the parts,

Agree, need a pic. Can't think of anything resembling that on my 272LE masthead...

If your an Isomat mast like mine (NG1) sounds like exit sheaves for the spinaker.
