I need the Nicro Fico end controls and traveler car for my 1983 CD-36 to make it line controlled.

Wish I could help but I sold my traveler years ago.

You didn’t ask this and you probably already considered it, but in case you have not...there are way better solutions to repairing the stock CD traveler. An upgrade to a good traveler is a big improvement to mainsail handling. Harken and Antal make outstanding traveler and mainsail handling systems.

Of course the stock traveler works and may be all you want or need.

And I'd recommend checking out Garhauer as well.

Agreed. Here is what I did when my old one blew out the end. It turned out to be a blessing since the new one is 1000 times better. By reusing the old car and track, it only cost about $250 to do the whole thing. Guido at Garhauer is a good guy. It can take a bit of persistence to get to a common ground but he usually has valid points so the dialog is worth it.

More details are in this post:
