I have a Hobie 16 with a comptip mast. One of the screws that hold the comp tip portion of the mast to the main is broken off inside the mast. When I attempted to remove with easy out the internal rod turns. It eventually pushed out of the other side. What I need is a replacement stainless steel sleeve. It is 5/16" diameter, 2 3/4" long, threaded 10-24.

Any suggestions on where to purchase this?

Bondo and a couple rivets.

What you have is a VERY old CompTip of the first vintage. Current ones are held in by Epoxy and the and rivets.
