Robert Ballantyne 22/373 has found an outfit who could make new keel nuts for 22s and 28s. This has been a perennial problem which could perhaps be addressed by buying a batch of (say) 10.

Would anyone like to suggest a price that they might be prepared to pay a) after that dreaded whirr-thump sound or b) in anticipation of that dreaded sound!

Depending on response, we could start negotiations!

Am I right in thinking you are referring to the threaded block of bronze which winds up and down the screw inside the rectangular tube and to which 2 wires are attached.
If should think this would be at least £50 worth if made to the right specification and tolerances.
Can it be guaranteed that all the original screw threads were made identical for all boats.
