Commanderpete, looks like I fabricated my mainsheet traveler system just like yours. I used the Harken small boat traveler kit from West marine they had a sale on one. Not hard to do all though I had to purchase the marine grade stainless steel hardware from a fasner supply business here, needed longer fasners then West Marine had in stock.
I'm using yours as a model there Robert.

Back down to the boat, underneath the blue tent
Got the old hardware off. I think only the fitting on the right is original.
Only complication seems to be working from below. Strange section of deck there with heavy tabbing. The nuts for that original fitting were buried underneath the tabbing. I drilled out the screws from the top and popped it off.
Just doesnt seem to be alot of room below to fit a backing plate.
I'll figure something out. I can't move the traveller track too close to the hatch because the traveller car is so big.
A screw through the center of the deck area ends up here below (very close to the wall, underneath the rusty ring)
