I thought this has been addressed, but can't find the string...sorry...I want to replace the original forward deck cleats w/ larger - a little taller and longer - cleats that have the same bolt pattern. Any recommendations for a supplier?

THANKS!
Jerry

There is a wide variety of cleats at Minnie's in Costa Mesa, CA. You can email or call and ask them to look for a pair for you. The prices are 50-90% off.

When I was there my only time, the friendly woman at the cash register offered to answer email requests for any parts. Their stock of used sailboat parts is well organized by type. I wouldn't be surprised if they had 5 or 6 milk crates full of horn cleats in various categories (brass, steel, small ones, cleats on cars, combo cleats, etc.)

The time I went there, I was looking for blocks and found several hundred to choose from.

If you're going bigger, it'd probably be a good idea for the bases to be correspondingly broader, like the 4-bolt cleats I have. Lotsa room for multiple lines with one passing through the throat. (They're backed with Starboard plates.)
