I am mulling over options for better furling control - and some of them involve a cheek block on the xbar.

In the interest of not drilling any more holes in the xbar, has anybody found a cheek block whose mounting hole spacing is the same as the Harken Mico Cam-Matic cleats already mounted on the xBar?

The mounting hole distance in question seems to be 27mm (1 1/16").

I use the Harken 29c, it's really close but you need to elongate the holes in the block, I used an 1/8" drill bit and drill to do so....

Thanks! That's what I was trolling for...

Looks like Harken=30mm and existing holes = 27mm.... so you elongated one of the Harken holes by 3mm...?

Or did you elongate each hole about 1.5mm?

A little on both but more on the hole that's not in the middle of the pulley
