I am trying to find the little plastic piece that holds the mast stay to the spreader pole. Anyone know what it is called and where to get replacements?

They look like the caps used by wrought Iron fence fabricators that cap tubing. Check with metal supply companies as they come 9in various sizes and colors.

They are a little more sophisticated. Here's a diagram:

Anyone else find BWY's catalog parts database completely useless? I've tried to search in it from different computers and browsers and it always comes up with an empty search result.
Yes. I usually just scan the main categories for my intended goal, or call them on the phone. (206) 281-8704

They're very helpful on the phone. ;)

Both of mine broke so I replaced them by drilling holes in two quarters. They have held up for over 10 years with no problems. The soft metal grips very well on the shroud wire rope. Not as pretty as molded plastic, but more durable and at 25 cents each, they are a bargain.

It's a bit difficult finding American quarters up here, North of the 49th. I wouldn't want to use Canadian quarters - our dollar just isn't as strong as the U,S. Dollar.
