Thanks Mike and Gordon

Do you know where a cajun might buy one of these sheaves?

 We had a group purchase years ago on
 aluminum sheaves with brass bushings in the center. They are
 great. The main goes up in seconds.

 Hello Bobby -

 I'd suggest converting from composite wire/rope to all rope
 is good thing to
 do...and you will have to change the sheave. With modern
 rope being what it
 is, most of the reasons to use wire are gone.

 I think the Association has a line on sheaves.  The one
 you've got is made
 of tufnol - that's actually linen compressed in resin. 
 Tufnol sheaves are
 very tough and long lasting, but it's not so easy to get
 them in large sizes
 anymore.  Your new one will likely be delrin.
