I've got a '79 Hobie 16 with an after market remote jib traveler system. Problem is I had two screw heads pop off on the base plate of the right side cleat. Someone had replaced a screw at some point and it was stabbing my tramp cause it was too long is the only reason I was messing with it to begin with.
Question is, does anyone know where I can get just that part and not the whole system? Or does anyone have one laying around on a parts boat I can buy? Getting the screws out will be pretty much impossible because they're very much stuck in place.
I can post pics if needed.
Thanks!

Having trouble visualizing what exactly is the problem. The pics would be helpful.

I have a semi complete front crossbeam with remote jib system. It's a little tired but if you can help me identify the part you need I'm happy to drop it in the mail -

why can't you replace the screws?
if you can't - why do you have to have this exact part - can't a regular cam cleat work (with an angled base)? -

The screws are completely seized and twist off instead of moving.
I'm not familiar with all cleats cause I've only been sailing a year now. I just assumed someone would have this old part hanging around for cheaper than I could buy something new. It's an old beat up boat I'm trying to learn on before I drop any real money on something nicer.
It sounds like jalex can help, but if not I'll look for other cleat options.

Drill them out and replace?
You are probably right - find a used one if you can - you will def pay a decent rate for a new one

Looks like this crossbar may have been robbed of some goodies. I have this if it helps. Not exact but would probably get you on the water
Here is what I have
You could use the base, or maybe the whole thing

That looks like it'll work, I sent you a direct message about it.

Got the part off, broke the 2 screw in the process but the base and cleat are still good. I'll try and get in the mail this weekend if you still need\want it -
