I have a 1978 Sunfish. My traveler ripped up so I bought a new one. However, it looks like the new design no longer has a loop in the center where the mainsheet bowline ties onto. It's just two loops the go in the port and starboard strap eyes.

In any case I'll try it out. I had to unscrew one of the screws on each starboard straps. Do I need to put some glue or something inside the holes before I screw them back in for a better hold? If so what do you guys use?
Also, on the top of the mast where the halyard goes through(fairlead?) the black top part is starting to coming off. I see two holes on each side where a headless screw goes into. I see it on one side but not the other. Seems to have fallen out. Or should I just get a new mast top halyard end cap from intensity sails?

Also, the tape around where my ronstan tiller extension meets the tiller is coming off. Is that a special tape? Or what do you guys use?
