Source for Rutgerson deck hardware

[mlibkind]

I want to double the line organizers on a boat. The current ones are Rutgerson B600024 and they still make the same ones. They are stackable so all I need to do is buy them and replace the existing bolts with longer ones. But I can't find a source for them in the US. Does anyone know where I can get them?

I also need some other Rutgerson parts to fix a traveler so maybe you have a source that will have a good selection. I can always hope.

Cheers.

Thanks. I was contacted by Italian Marine Supply in FL in response to my email to Rutgerson in Sweden. They sound very responsive and will use them.

I am wandering what was the charge for shipping your part.
I was asked to pay $ 62 US, for a plastic replacemet part
worth $ 22 US !!!.

The parts that I was enquiring about were for a boat that I had contracted to buy. Unfortunately the survey revealed major problems and the deal fell through so in the end I didn't purchase the parts and therefore can't help you.

Unfortunately the only source I found, via the suggestion on this forum, was Italian Marine in FL. So you are sort of caught between a rock and a hard place.

I suspect that the price is high because, well, yachting stuff is over priced in general, and because they are shipping it air to the US. Those are my only thoughts.

Thanks for the feed back. For a moment when I got the quote I was shocked. May be they deliver by courier ! !
Any way I am planning to replace all of them gradually with the easy , and more resonably priced Lewmar.

Given that Rutgerson has no retail outlets in the US, some of their stuff (e.g. tracks) are non-standard so not compatible with other hardware sources, and given that their hardware is not known to be of the highest quality, I'd switch to other manufacturers whenever possible.
