[Public-list] Genoa track spacers & bolts

[Amy & David Swanson]

All -

Went sailing Saturday, and discovered that the wooden spacer under the port 
genoa track had cracked.  I have previously replaced the spacer under the 
sail track on the mast using some pre-cut (meaning $$$) teak from West 
Marine, but was thinking of using Delrin or similar for this project.  What 
have others used?  Also, how did you shape it to curve with the toe rail, by 
removing & tracing the track itself, then cutting it out?  That seems 
wasteful of some fairly pricey material.  Finally, does anyone know a good 
source for the 1/4-20 4" flathead machine screws?  No one local to me has 
them, and McMaster-Carr wants $55 + shipping for a box of 10.

Thanks for any/all help.
