[Rhodes22-list] Anyone know what this part is?

[Mary Lou Troy]

Sorry to be late to the party. We were out cruising around. ;-)

It's the bottom stop for the fuler attached to the In-Mast Furler/boom 
attachment block. The part that raises and lowers the furling tube with 
the boom attached. I think the disk at the bottom of the furling tube 
rests and spins on it.

Here are some photos of the furling assembly disassembled. You can see 
how it screws into the block. We think the holes for the screws were 
just tapped into the block so it probably just vibrated loose, probably 
enlarging the screw holes in the back of the block as it did.
