So I noticed that both my Jib sheet blocks have cracked sheaves. So it's time to replace and consider improvements. But I'm not terribly familiar with the hardware and options that are out there (I've barely done any modifications to the rig).
So here are my conclusions/questions:
1) Right now it looks like I have a snatch block with a snap shackle. Right?
2) I don't think I need the snatch feature because I've never tried to add or remove this block to the line. Am I missing something here?
3) I do want the snap shackle because I have two cars on each track, and I often swap the block between them.
4) The only upgrade I'm aware of that I would like would be a spring loaded upright block (because it bangs in light variable winds), however I see no easy way to remove the existing cars or add new ones. Are there any options for adding an upright block?
So I think I just want a regular block with a snap shackle.
