Help, wtf do you call this bit?

Well after all that, the bloody thing didn't fit, there's a gap a good couple of mill between the top of the new bit and the track. I did manage to drill the old rivet, bought one of those rivet guns and even managed to work it, what is it with dingy bits, no two items are ever the same, even if they look similar.

If you can cut the old rivet out with pincers.  How can anyone not own a rivet gun?

greame if you want it I will drill it out for you and you can buy a me a sweet sherry at the FOM.

He also knows that something as old and unchanged as that mast sail feeder has had it's mould/casting costs homologated a hundred times over and probably costs all of sixpence to churn out, it'll probably be on a double up right down the chain, everyone making a good margin, we price items like that on a thirty margin because they are regarded as a spare part and their availability part of a customer enjoyment of sport necessity.

So I do object when clothing style margins are applied to spare parts. In fact they seem to be applying clothing style margins to lots of things in this business, sails in particular.

I also don't like to see total uniformity of pricing across the board it does smack of retail price maintenance which we all know is illegal and some of us have had bitter experience of the OFT in the past for just such pricing cartel activities..
