I've tried to clean up the front roller, however, after reading some of the restorations here, the appeal of a SS ball bearing front roller is grabbing me. From what I have read, a guy on Ebay was selling them, however, no such sale exists anymore. Not sure what's involved, but I have a friend of mine who works for himself, but is a long time boat builder for Austral Ships, so he may be able to make something for me.
I'm just thinking ahead and planning. Still plenty to do before I even consider these things.
