My traveler car broke at the beginning of a race yesterday. Little balls went everywhere.Tied a ling to the block and the traveler track to hold it all together so we could finish, but had no adjustment.
It's a Harken. Does anyone know if a direct replacement is still available for that track?

Update.
You can replace just the car with a Harken 2729 SB CB, but you need to remove the clip that holds the balls. I decided to replace the track also with the new style 37440 and now can leave the clip. Also purchased end caps for a nice finished look. Going to replace the teak wood support under the track with a 1" thick piece of black acetyl UV protected.
