No it was some hard plastic, teflon will take a set under load and migrate

Yeah, I had the same thoughts but had no drill bits or material at the time. What material did you use? Teflon?

Hello experts 


I played hooky yesterday afternoon to give attention to my jib winches. I had the time to work on both of them so my memory was fresh. Along with the wear of 30+ years I noticed missing parts, i.e. parts present on one were not on the other. Also, a couple of broken washers made an appearance. I could discuss the frozen/welded crown plate screws but you know the story. 


I haven't gotten any luck in finding spare washers, spindle end caps, collars, spacers etc. after some furious searching. 


Long story short, I have two questions: 


1) Anybody know where I can get these hard to find parts? 


2) Are the new Lewmar 48ST winches hole-compatible? I can't afford them now but perhaps next year.... 


Thanks for your experience 


Cheers
