Bent Spreader, how to find a replacement?

[Manateeman]

The load is carried by the four pins and the bar through the mast and the surface area where the spreader touches the spar.
One can TIG on more aluminum even inside the spreader, on the top or the bottom or even eliminate the mast bar.
It’s aluminum. If you find a junk yard set, you can fabricate it to fit.
If you can TIG aluminum, you can adapt a set of spreaders to work.
Happy trails.

I bought new spreaders from Buzz Balinger

The spars he sent were skinner than my originals so I needed to sand the dpreader doubler down to fit.
It worked great!
