Does anyone know where i can buy one ? looked through all the usuall ,treeworker ,honey brothers ,buxtons etc etc ,but no joy . I would like a self locking if possible

Any help would be great

[PG Tips]

Try a Yacht Chandlers shop or yacht rigging yard. Or make up your own.

You haven't given any SWL requirements or price limits.

You could start off by looking at Young's chandlers (Lewmar 72mm Synchro Fiddle Block)

i did see one in an arb catalouge a year or to back ,it was for arb work . i make my own up when needed but would like a proper one that self locks

[WeeDee]

is this the one:

Lewmar 72mm Synchro Fiddle Block items - Get great deals on Sporting Goods, Vehicle Parts Accessories items on eBay UK!

 

Yes, that's the type of thing I'm talking about. You can get a version with a rope lock on it too.

It's at least food for thought as you may have different requirements.

[timtree81]

yes thats an option lads ,nice one

Have a look under the rigging pulleys on our site we do them it's called the rescue hauler and used with the double pulley. It's the one that where used in the demos at the Aa show and our show. If you need to know more give me a bell.

This new one on ebay looks like one end of what you need,look at his other items for the other end, there are a few second hand options too if you look around:

 

* BARTON BLOCK SIZE 6 FIDDLE BKT CAMS SHACKLE - BOATS on eBay (end time 11-Feb-11 12:30:14 GMT)

 

Also try phoning these guys and ask for a heavy duty mainsheet block with a jammer http://www.chandlerybarge.co.uk/
