[C320-list] Rope Clutch

[SARA SCHROEDER]

After installing a new mail halyard, I have determined that the reason my main "slips" after being raised is that the rope clutch is failing.  I called the manufacturer and they do not make internal rebuild kits so I am looking at a new one. Since the three on starboard get the most use (main/reef/vang) I think I will just replace all three.  Port side seems fine for now. The question is this: Is there a backing plate that is tapped for screws on the cabin house?  If not, how do you replace them?
Thanks!
