[Rhodes22-list] Boom Car stop?

Tue May 18 20:07:57 EDT 2010

Lee,

How do you attach and slide this on the boom?  Do you have a picture?  A bolt and wing nut is a good and effective locking mechanism.  If the entire block/car assembly is missing, I don't think anyone except Stan has this custom made part, which is shown in the two attachments here - the plastic could be fabricated by us - Stan probably had his guys put it together.  The other, SS, is probably a Dwyer product, as they have been making the masts and booms over the years.  Obviously one snap is side, the other is the top view.

Push come to shove, it could possible be made using an upside-down pulley fastened above the boom slot, but that is a bit crude...

R,

Art
