Genoa lead blocks

The plastic sheaves on my port/starboard traveler jib lead blocks are both chipped and will require replacement. I believe the mfg. to be Schaefer, have searched their website, but cannot find sheave replacements.

I could buy two new blocks at 180.00 ea. but that seems foolish, since the silver anodized alum. portion is in good shape.

Has anyone attempted just replacing their double line sheaves and if so, where would I find them?

Thanks . . . Steve
