I have replaced the Torlon bearings in my Harken traveller this winter and found them to be quite expensive (Defender). I then found that the bearings in my genoa car lead were completely trashed. In searching for new bearings, I found a company that makes every size of Torlon bearings. The cost is substantially less than marine outfitters charge (at least less than half depending on the number ordered), but they have a minimum $100 order and at this point I don’t need that much. I would be happy to buy more bearings than I need and distribute them to others at cost if anyone else is interested in rebuilding their cars, leads, etc. If you let me know what you need (size and number) I will see what a bulk order will cost and let you know. There is a difficult to locate guide to Harken bearings I found, so I can look up those if you don’t know the sizes (I will send this to Stu for the photo album). My traveller, genoa car and genoa lead all took different sized bearings. Dave
