My 1984 C&C 32 has Navtec rod rigging....when I bought the boat in 2006
from the original owner I had to reassemble the rigging...when doing so,
I removed the through bolts, aluminum through bolts that were 1/3 or
more cut through by the wire main halyard..
Had a machine shop make me two new SS through bolts for $50....will
never worry about them failing.
Anyone with aluminum through bolts should have them inspected.

The ball under the Navtang cap that you're referring to is actually a
"stemball washer". I assume you're referring to the cup-like washer
that seats below the stemball, inside the Navtang cap.
Sometimes also called a stemball seat. I assume you're not talking
about the stemball itself, because if your rods were cut, then the
stemball isn't relevant or reusable.
If you just need a stemball washer, that's pretty easy - anyone who
reheads the rod will be able get one. You'll need to give them the
Navtang cups.
The through bolt was aluminum on older Navtangs but they switched to
SS on newer models (sometimes around '82/83 I believe, so you probably
have aluminum). The dissimiliar metal there isn't the big issue
(except when getting the tang apart), the issue is that aluminum
corrodes quicker and can get eaten up by wire halyards that they had
back in the day.
You need to talk to a rigger who does Navtec or BSI orders. My BSI
order is finally arriving this week.

My newly acquired 1980 CNC 36 had the heads cut off of the
intermediate shrouds. In trying to get them re-headed I discovered
I'm missing 1 ball from under the cap. The through bolt needs
replacing as well as possibly the caps. Question is, did Navtec go
to a different option because of the dissimilar metals issue?
Suggestions please?
