Steve- I think Forespar still makes the 1" cast spreader sockets. Ther are better in that they tend to keep the mast in column; not better because the uppers need to be backed off before raising or lowering the mast.

Has anyone taken the steps to fix the spreaders to the mast as opposed to the hinged brackets supplied from the factory (1977 vintage)? Is this a good or bad idea? If good, what is a good source for the hardware?
