I used the aluminum version on my jib sheets and they didn't last as long as the plastic ones. I didn't even get a whole season out of them. If you are going to the trouble repleace them with a normal horne cleat for the jib halyard. They are not quick release but in 9 years of extenisive use I have not needed a quick release jib halyard.

Bobbie,
The ClamCleat used for the Jib Halyard on my 1985 M15 is a vinyl "ClamCleat Vertical CL201", I took it off and looked at the bottom. It too no longer holds my line very well. I looked at the teeth, there is rope burn that has dulled the edges. I'm going to use the aluminium version (CL219, or a CL219 AN) as a direct replacement, same manufacture and hole pattern.
