[C320-list] Travler Upgrade

[John Ellis]

I upgraded my traveler last winter. I called Guido at Garhauer; he asked me to email him some pictures of my current traveler so he could see what would work on my 95 C320. I called him back and he told me the MT-UB type traveler car that’s on the new Catalinas won’t fit on the old traveler, which would be a royal pain to remove and replace. So I bought the MT-2 traveler upgrade, which does not jamb the traveler lines like the old one frequently did. It’s an easy replacement, but you’ll have to cut off the old cam cleat supports on one side to slide the new traveler car on. The upgrade kit was $275, I got the 10% discount that Garhauer offers C320 Association members and the shipping was free. I highly recommend dealing with Garhauer!
