The bearing sits on top of a fitting that is swaged to the forestay and the drum sits on top of it. In a message dated 5/15/2013 4:47:34 P.M.

My 74 has a couple of plastic (of some kind) of round discs that look like roller-skate wheels on the wire coming from the furling tube? Is that some kind of bearing so it does not hit the forward deck? I am still far from rigging but I do not have this figurered out yet.
