Want To Buy: Sta-Lok 3/8" insulators (qty 2) (USA)

[evm1024]

WTB - Sta-Lok 3/8" insulators (qty 2). Talk about hen's teeth. There is a world wide shortage of various Sta-Lok parts. I'm trying to but a backstay antenna as part of my re-rig. No Sta-Lok 3/8" insulators to be found by my rigger. Anyone have a pair lying around? Or know of a pair (New is best...)

I'm in the PDX area

I’ll check, they need to be new. They have a limited lifespan due to plastic

Thanks, 9 day auction. We will see what else pops up and bid at the last moment if it works that way.

True. I do have a few other feelers out. Need to talk to the rigger to see if his feelers came through. Not sure where you are located but it a big holiday here.

My other sources are still dry so I went and bought these in a buy it now.

Thanks to JBas for the heads up.

Certainly nice to have a permanent installation. We found a 40 foot piece of insulated #2 wire hoisted at anchor works very well. We coil and tie it to the rail under way.

Many cruisers do a permanent installation using stand-offs and a separate wire up the Backstay.

Hello from AK,
I have two Stalok 3/8 insulators, new and complete I can sell for $175 for the pair. I ended up using 5/16 insulators in my backstay replacement. I’ll cover USPS Priority shipping to PDX.
PM me if you are interested, Rob...

I have two new isolators with studs and eyes. Purchased BEFORE I knew I did not need them. $125 for the pair. PM me if interested.
