Parts needed for 1973 E-29

I am looking for used parts or advice on where to buy a few items for my trusty E-29

I need a gate eye for the starboard lifeline. ( Where the pelican hook attaches ) I think this is a LH thread. It seems someone pinched mine.

I would like to replace the genoa track on both sides. From my measurements it is 165 inches long, 1 inch wide and has holes every 2 inches, alternating between stop holes and counter sunk screw holes. Is this a standard Harken or other mfg track? of course it is curved too.

Any advice is appreciated.

I think the track is the same as I have on my e35II 1972. It is standard SS track... it comes straight and you bend it around when you install it. Start at the front and work your way back, hole by hole. You will need a good helper or two too.

Hayn makes lots of life line parts and they are available from West Marine and most other dealers.

I wasn't thinking of theft, but when I replaced my lifelines last year I used lots of Loctite on the eyes. I would have used epoxy had I had any mixed. On the original life lines the eyes were welded on to the screws.
