If it's easier to simply replace them, I have a pair of screw pin cars for 1" track available.

If you figure the thread pitch and diameter out you might try MC master carr. They have everything under the sun. Also rig rite and Dwyer are worth a shot. Send them pics. It's old stuff so not likely to be produced anymore but worth a try. If you have to buy new, I went with Gahauer tracks and cars, with harken blocks. Very strong cars and easy to use. The origanol genoa tracks are way to long. I replace mine with 18 inch long tracks..

The thread and diameter can be found by taking the lead car to a well-stocked hardware store, and trying various screws until you find the correct one.


You probably something different than a hex head, but it would suffice as a last resort.


I believe those screws usually have a knurled head. Perhaps a machine shop could do that.


Do you know who made the track? Merriman? Schaefer? Harken?



Best regards,

Hi.


Im looking for a few bits and pieces for 221. Specifically the stopper screws that fix the position of the blocks in the jib and genny tracks. Pictures provided below. If anyone can provide or recommend a source or a solution, I’d be grateful.
