Schaefer #404 End Block

[darrelweb]

Does anyone have one of these? This weekend one of the sheaves split into two parts due to old age I am sure. 1982 Catalina.
Thank you.

Some pictures of the end block I need. One of the plastic sheaves broke apart as you can see.

These Schaefer blocks are easy to fix. You can drill out the center pin from underneath and drive it out. Diameter of this pin is 3/16".

I made two new sheaves out of a 1/2" thick piece of UHMW. The center hole is 1/2" diameter and I put it on my wood lathe with an arbor. Then just turned the UHMW to the right diameter and turned in the groove for the rope.

I made a new SS pin and drilled out the ends with a 1/8" drill and then just mushroomed the ends with a ball pen hammer.

Bye the way, Schaefer was of no help at all.
