Roger Wilson, thank you for the cutting board idea, I think I have a few old ones in the garage that I saved for use on the boat. I had planned on making something out of wood if I couldn't find the actual part. Thanks again!!

Thanks Spencer, I think I'll try to rig something. Was hoping there were replacement parts somewhere. Oh well.

Does anyone still sell parts for the Amtak/Pac Bay Power Wrapper? I am looking for the bottom piece of the rod support ( The piece that clamps it to the track)

Hey all, I assume Backlash Tools aren't around anymore, I did a google search.
