[Rhodes22-list] Broken Spacer for Rudder Downhaul Lines

[Shawn Boles]

Hi Mark:

You should be able to have this replicated at any shop capable of machining
heavy duty plastic. I had a similar experience with a broken outhaul, and I
got 2 from a local fabricator for ~$150, including measurement/setup. They
thought it was a 'cute' project 🧐.

Good luck!
