Hi,
Anyone ever have to replace a damaged Bronze sheave on a Bristol? The Centerboard wire pennant runs over this and then straight down through the bottom of the boat to the board. Looking at it with a bore scope, it is very damaged.

Wondering if it is in a bronze or stainless box that is then fiberglassed to the trunk and sealed in glass.

I'm not intimately familiar with what Bristol used for the center board pennant wire rope sheave but you might be able to find a close enough replacement sheave at McMaster-Carr (type in "sheave" in their search box).
