Ted,
Most furling tubes are one solid piece from top to bottom. Apparently your  
furling tube breaks down into two pieces. I have not seen that before, but 
I can  imagine making a fitting to connect two sections out of round UHMWPH 
which is a  hard, UV resistant plastic. Almost everything plastic on the R22 
is made from  the stuff including the bearing material. Making new bearings 
is not hard. A  saber saw, drill and sand paper are about all you need to 
work with it. I've  made several pieces over the years including a new pop 
top slider for my own  use. That lasted for quite a while until I replaced it 
with one of Stan's heavy  duty newer designs.

I  finally got the cable out. It was getting caught on the plastic that 
connects  the two tubes together. 

I need a new plastic connecter in order to  connect the two tubes back 
together. It looks like it is GB specific.  

This is really a pain in the ass.
