I replaced the traveler on my 42 with a Schaefer traveler and am very happy 
with it.  The track and car are robust, and the operation is smooth.  If lining 
up old holes is an issue, you can call Schaefer and purchase a length of 
anodized track that has not been drilled (I did this for the baby stay track on 
my previous boat).  I took the old track and the replacement track to a local 
machine shop, and for a nominal fee had the new track cut and drilled to fit 
perfectly.

Hi J-G

I am in the middle of replacing my traveller, car, etc.

The boat came with a Kenyon track 1-1/4, and car with 4 rollers w. SS balls.

End controls gave it a 3:1 ratio.

Moving it was like driving over a bunch of potholes, with all the tires flat.

Found a Harken 32mm track with 4” centres drilled, same as the Kenyon.

The Harken track uses 5/16” FH screws, the Kenyon ¼”. So I have tapped out the 
holes to suit.

Also 4:1 HL Car, and ESP End controls.

The original track was sitting in a 4” x 1-3/4 Aluminium channel, that 
unfortunately was not wide enough for the new car.

I have a strip of EDPE (?) anyway, white plastic 2” x 1” thick, that will go 
under the new track, and gives the height needed for clearance.

Also moving the cam cleats to the cabin top either side of the companionway.

Should be done in a week or so. ( I had better be, im launching today.)

Rgds

My track slide is very difficult to move. The wheels are worn and do not turn 
easily any more. Has anyone found a suitable replacement system or parts to 
repair the existing system?

Cheers, J-G
