Steering sheaves / pulleys
So I am piecing together my "System" to install a pedestal / wire rope /quadrant steering system on my boat.

I am now looking at sheave /pulleys. I intend to use 1/4" wire rope so 6" pulleys, not 4". I can build my own blocks and support plates but need to get sheaves.
Other than Edson and Lewmar who are crazy expensive, is there a source for wire rope pulleys?
I see a lot of newer boats have aluminium pulleys are these durable or do they corrode crack?
