Post subject:  H14 Turbo Upgrade Kit lacking

I bought a turbo upgrade kit for my H14 for about $650 and today am attempting to rig it. The kit seems to be a really lacking. So far, I'm missing clevis pins to attach the bridle wires to the furler, The Jib Block Support wire does not have a turnbuckle end as indicted in the instructions. There is no place to attach the wire to the chain plate beneath the trampoline. No 14 on the list of parts is the Jib sail - also not included. The instructions themselves are a poor quality photo copy making the details impossible to make out. Thanks for reading this. I feel better.

This is a pretty ancient kit. We have a pdf that is pretty clear though.

If the kit was purchased from us recently... certainly should have had clevis pins for the bridle attachment to the furler drum. Normally these would be in the wire ends.

The chainplate attachment is newer, so if pre-82... you need the upgrade kit as shown in the catalog.

Jibs are seperate as noted in the catalog.

Jib block wire has not used the adjuster for many years.
