I have a similar rigging in my cp14. My hardware is Harken and they are solid - not able to be taken apart, the sheef(wheel) is riveted between two stainless steel pieces. The Harken parts are expensive but only one of my cheek blocks has a fragmented "sheef" and they have seen alot of use... I have found this rigging to be unusual i.e. not many other cp14's seem to have the same set-up.Has anyone replaced the blocks for the centerboard lift assembly? I have an '84 Capri 14.2 and all the wheels inside the blocks are falling apart. They're stamped "Seaway" but I can't find any "Seaway" company that is making blocks today. In the manual they are labeled "midget block with padeye", "midget turning block", and "midget cheek block". Any help is appreciated...
