Ezzy Mast Tip Insert

New model harder nylon compound that does not break down.

Assists with precise downhauling on Ezzy sails with downhaul calibration guides.  2 x adjustable O rings for perfect seal on most masts

Fits masts tips with inside diameter 24-25mm. Hole diameter 20mm.  Overall length 47mm

Notes from customer:

I have fitted the mast tip insert into an older Ezzy 430 mast that had an inside diameter of only 23mm

Leaving a worn mast tip inside the mast was not a safe option.  A similarly worn tip has been FORCED INSIDE a mast during rigging, which induced a failure of that mast tip.

Measurements / observations:

1. a) The rubber ring at the bottom in the below image, WAS able to be compressed to the required 23mm diameter.
2. b) The rubber ring, second from bottom in the below image, WAS NOT able to be compressed to the required 23mm diameter
3. c) Forcing the assembly into the mast (as supplied) would probably damage the mast.
4. d) The coved groove, third from the bottom, is deeper than the other grooves.

Technique adopted for the 23mm inside diameter mast:

1) MOVING THE SECOND FROM BOTTOM RUBBER RING UP TO THE THIRD FROM BOTTOM coved-groove.

2) Generous application of talcum powder to all surfaces as a lubricant.

3) Insert whilst gently working each rubber ring inside the mast using a prying tool, whilst applying minimal force.
