Profurl Drum Cage Locking Screw on 2040-parts.com
Decatur, Georgia, US
I have 2 drum cage locking screws. One is used to fasten the tangs to the drum. The shorter one is used to fasten and secure the tang on the upper assembly(halyard).
We just finished a trans Pacific trip to Australia. On the Tuamotos to Tahiti passage both of the longer screws backed out and left us with a loose system. I ordered some replacements
when we got to Tahiti and a few spares. The price was right at $28.00 each. They might be made of titanium. I believe there are 2 fasteners for each tang and 1 fastener for the upper halyard drum fitting. Our profurl system was a NC42. These fasteners will also fit a lot of other Profurl rigs. The NCI 42, LCI 42, and LC 42. Probably more. The profurl part number is P035013. It is good to have spares for these parts! Even lock tite doesn't always secure them.
Sorry, I will not be able to get these out before July13th. Thanks.

The 500-hp club: The room is getting crowded
Mon, 02 Apr 2012At a time when fuel economy counts for just about everything, there's still a horsepower war raging in the United States. The number of fire-breathing wedge-shaped supercars and hot sedans and coupes that can pump out 500 hp or better has nearly doubled in the past five years to more than 70. A decade ago there were just two members of the 500 hp club in the United States: the Ferrari 575M and Lamborghini Murcielago.
Lotus's glimmer of hope: Proton stands by Hethel
Wed, 09 Jan 2013After another painful year of sales for Lotus in the UK – down 58% on 2011 - Norfolk's beleagured sports car brand has kicked off the New Year with the grand unveiling of its new flagship Malaysian showroom, and the thumbs-up from senior Proton company suits that Lotus isn't on its last legs. The announcement comes in the same week Lotus’s sales figures were released for 2012. Showing a substantial 58% decrease in sales and selling just 137 vehicles, Lotus Cars was the worst performer in the UK with a woeful 0.01% share of the market. Are Lotus's Malaysian owners sticking by the company?
