[Rhodes22-list] Attach pully to spreader arm ??

[Michael D. Weisner]

Rory,

Have you tried a stainless steel hose clamp?  The spreader can be removed 
from the mast with a single cotter pin and the clamp placed over the bar. 
Replace the cotter pin and use the clamp to hold a shackle and sheave to the 
bar.  I think that you will need a 1-1/4" diameter clamp (from memory) but 
please measure the spreader diameter and the shackle that you will use.
