If you use them, screw them in, do not rivet them. This will allow you to remove them if you want to get at halyards at a later date. I have had to swap my halyards from port to starboard and they do restrict your ability to get into the mast.

The only other ones that may retro fit is the Harken big bullet 134
My old ones have a cut out of 96mm x 24mm
I'm gong to have a look at what brand yours are Jabberwock please
I intend to tap threads on a lot of fittings
I'm not to sure how nut certs would work on a mast I use them at work now and then that would be another way of fixing
you pull them down like a rivet
Sure, we are back in the water
Told by the experts at Yaringa to tap the mast directly and use insulating gunk and a metric screw/bolt
I did this for recent modification and seems ok
All my mast cleats and winches are held by this method - no problems
I found removing monel or stainless rivets a pain
