Angled Cheek Block

Garhauer used to make an angles cheek/turning block with a 30 degree or so angle cast into the base. They no longer make them so I'm looking for a used pair ... to be used as jib turning blocks on a 32' 21000lb boat
Thanks

Re: Angled cheek block

Have you considered putting an angle block under a standard foot block? These have been in use P/S for 30 years.
