Thanks a million for all the advice.
Will try bringing it to a shop to be welded, and if that fails will source
a replacement.
Interesting to note ice as the probable cause.
Again, much appreciated!

1.  Weld repair

2) Replace – Have found this scrap yard very helpful and large inventory at 
very reasonable  pricing  https://www.massmarineparts.com/

3.  Buy new – Klacko marine?  South Shore? – will be expensive

Yeah, that's a nothing burger. Just take it too someone who can weld aluminum 
properly. I've done that a couple times with my own.

Hi,  

Anyone got any experience replacing spreader on an  80s C? 

I have a 1982 C 32 cb.  The crack in the picture is on the SB spreader 
leading edge.  

 

Here is a link to a photo of the damaged section 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PqaaEQj_VdWYvkdtyLgIO11Gto9svM9J

 

 

I want to replace but don’t know where to source the part.

In the meantime, would it be worth trying to throughbolt or rivet plates top 
and bottom to increase strength?  Or would the necessary holes compromise 
further?

All advice much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Or take it to a competent Machine Shop that also does aluminium welding?

I'm guessing the crack is from water freezing inside in the winter when
the mast was stored?  Odd otherwise.
