Mast Heel Plug I have recently purchased one of the "Queensland" mast sections and want to find a heel plug to suit. I have made contact with a Proctor mast distributor who can supply the part to suit a K4621 section. Do we know if this is a suitable alternative? What do the Queenslanders use? Thanks Graham Brown 20-Feb-2005    Edit    Delete

Re: Mast Heel Plug G'day Graham The Vics are using the Goldspar step with a mast base from, Light Spars Of Australia ADDRESS 6 Horscroft Pl Moorabbin VIC, 3189 Australia Ph: (03) 9555 4622 The plug was originally made for the pacers, but is suitable with only minor modifications. The queenslanders may have another approach to this, as I know that there has been discussion concerning mast bend. Barry Pike 28-Feb-2005    Edit    Delete

Re: Mast Heel Plug Graham, In Victoria we also have some older mast steps that may suit. The step is a male type onto which you place the mast which has some sort of plug (eg bread board siliconed into place) more than 1 cm up the mast. Contact Robert McQuade on (03) 9859 2558 for inforamtion about these. Alison Penington 22-Mar-2005    Edit    Delete
