My old Lark (hull 455) spinaker pole slides up and down a wire attached to the front of the mast. The attachment to the wire is a plastic traingular 2-part piece about 10mm thick and about 25-30mm on the . The two halves normally clamp together either side of the wire allowing the 'mast' end of the pole to slide up and down.
Last weekend this plastic part shattered - I'm wondering if anyone knows if these parts are still available. I don't even know what it's called - I was hoping it might be a fitting that is more common than just old lark poles.
Any clues? (I could post a photo of the part if it helps)
Thanks,

That type of system used to be popular on merlins (a long time ago) so you could try their website for old parts.
I once made one by folding over a piece of 16g aluminium and sandwiching between it another piece the same thickness as the wire.
Hold together with pop rivets after fitting.
