My '84 Monty has plastic caps at the ends of the spreaders with plastic pieces that screw onto those caps to hold the shrouds in place. The cap and screw-on piece both have a groove for the wire. Are replacement parts available? If not, would rubber spreader-boots be sufficient to hold the shrouds? I know the spreader boots are designed to prevent sail chafe, which would suggest they're probably not sufficient for the dual function of holding the shrouds.
