The Genoa haliard sheave popped out of my Superspar M2- top screw fell out I think!

No major damage but haliard has cut into the mast down to the lower mounting screw, and also about 5 mm of the bottom of the cutout in the mast has broken off

 

is there a sheave with a wider hole mount spacing (72mm)  that I could fit so i can fit the lower screw into the mast rather than fresh air?

Any other suggestions?

Ian, i'm at blithfield sunday we can have a look if you want? To answer the question i'm not sure that there are, and if this is the only solution it may be a case of asking superspars for advice.

Short of some intricate welding, could you bolt through into a small backing plate to 'clamp' either side of the old screw hole. If that makes sense.
