Fico Traveller Car

mm Hi all

I dis a bit of damage to my main sheet traveler car on the weekend and I want to replace it

From what i can see it is a Fico NF1147 car but i think that they are no longer available new in Australia

Th track is a I section 19 mm across the top and approx 25 mm high and these are similar measurements to the Ronstan 19 mm I beam system

Just wondering if anyone has ever re[placed a Fico car with a Ronstan one

The Ronstan car is listed as having angled wheels where as the Fico seem to be parallel and the Fico track is straight on the vertical section of the beam whereas the Ronstan seems to be wider at the top and bottom

There is a Ronstan one in Hobart so unless someone can tell me that it wont fit i might get it down and give it a go

The other thing is I don't suppose anyone has a Fico one in good condition they want to sell to me

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Regards Don

Hi Don this might be what need if the one you have ordered doesn't fit Let me know!

I'm watching for your test results with Ronstan traveller car. I have issues with 30 year old cars on a Beneteau.
At Sydney Boat show this year I did find a stand with an agency for comparable cars suited to older 19mm track that doesn't have the shoulder on the current Ronstan track. I can't remember their name, it wil be in the show catalogue. I think they were from Brookvale.
