thanks Swoosh & Land yacht.
i did send that via the website to auswind originally and during the week but something went too far west in the email ether, and they never got the message originally.

Swoosh: thanks for the referral to Michael, he emailed back pronto and offered to send the parts asap. all good.
Land yacht: thanks for your offer, as you see above its not necessary to take advantage of your kindness. However if there hadnt been any response from the source, and no other easier remedy i would have certainly asked for one of your spares to be sent. i will file for further ref in future if need be.
heres the sail in action last year.
thanks to Mark as well.
