The port spreader bracket on Dreamtime is broken and we are looking for a replacement. We think it is an old Holt Allen fitting (see attached photo) which is proving difficult to source. Does anyone know where we might find a replacement or have an alternative solution for fixing it?
Thank you

We also had a spreader bracket break on Cherry Pie, this happened to us about 15 years ago here is a pic of the old bracket just fetched it out of the shed.
The way we got around it was by having a stainless steel one manufactured identical to the broken one. You will notice your fitting differs from our photo..yours looks quite modern. A company comes to mind called Z Spars perhaps they could point you in the right direction. Hope this helps good luck.
