Since the spar was down, I replaced the masthead sheaves with nice ball bearing sheaves from Garhauer. I discovered that the original sheaves, again, used for four seasons, were in excellent condition. They are 2 1/8 x 1/2 plastic sheaves and they have a brass bushing lining the bearing hole. I don't really have any use for them, so if anyone wants them, I'll sell them as a set for $8.00 plus whatever it costs me to ship them to you. First come first serve.
</p><p>BTW, the new aluminum Garhauer sheaves are just a tad thicker than the original sheaves. One pair fit fine. The other pair required that I mill down the plastic spacer that goes between them. A few passes with my orbital sander with 80 grit, then some polishing with 200 grit did the trick.
