The Ballad Exchange

Hello everyone! ......
My name is Rick and I'm from Ontario Canada
I just purchased a ballad that needs some TLC and I'm sure with all the resources on the sight, that shouldn't be a problem
I'm looking forward to it
After cleaning out all the crap left for me by the previous owner , I noticed the spreaders were missing for the mast
Is this going to be a major problem? ?
Would anyone know where I could find some or the length they should be in case I have to get a pair fabricate or maybe find something similar to the original
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Rick

Hi Rick,these spreader are on my ballad from 1976 measured from the end.One more thing does someone knows where you can get the ends for the spreaders where the wire goes thru or replacements?
regards

Thanks this a great help
Now that I know what they should look like and the length , I'll try and match up a set that might work for me . We have a boat wrecker a couple of hours drive from here so I think I'll start there
Thanks again

While looking at the Selden web sight at spreaders I noticed there were some end pieces similar to yours
