Look at my balls......
« on: January 30, 2016, 05:11:03 PM »
Afternoon guys, having lost my balls to the cold depths of Draycote just before Christmas, I had to find a new pair, well 40 ;)
Having looked at the specs and prices of the Harken replacements, I had to find something cheaper.
So.... Please click here to see my balls..... http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/p61014/5mm-Diameter-Solid-Delrin-Polyoxymethylene-(POM)-/-Celcon-Plastic-Balls/product_info.html

They fit really well in my Allen car, and run really smoothly, other sizes available. They seem to be the same spec, if not better, and a damn sight cheaper than the Harken/Allen replacements and arrived the next day. If anyone is looking for spares, or replacements, worth giving these guys a shout.

And no, I'm not part of this company or any of thing to do with them, just don't like Harken taking the p**s.

Enjoy my balls.

Jimmy,

I am surprised, I ordered some balls from Harken direct and it was only a few pounds. that was for their swivel base.

maybe it is different for the blocks.

on that note. the full bearing assembly for their main swivel base is not alot, i am using it to make a custom jib swivel cleat.

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but P&B selling 20 balls for £9.99 just seemed a little crazy as you need like 40 for the jib car. Hopefully it will help someone, and if I'm buying in the wrong place or wrong item, maybe someone can point me in the right direction :)
