Hi, does anyone know what kind of pulley this is or where I can buy some from?

The thing that's important to me is the way it can be attached with a screw. Anything similar to it would be fine too.

Thanks for any help!

if not a boat chandler, then maybe a Theatrical Chandler like [url= http://www.flints.co.uk/acatalog/Pulleys.html ]Flints[/url]

that'd be my call too, but the screw fixing is a bit odd.

Not fancy sticking it back together?

You should love it, hug, it, and hold it to your chest and call it George... 😆

It's a pulley, not a bunny.

😆

It is only very small and cheaply made...the one in pic is part of a DIY Gopro zipline setup. It's the screw fixing that's got me. I searched through a few websites but can't find anything similar. 😕

It's the screw fixing that's got me[s] thats why you might find something is a theatrical chandlers as stuff is generally screwed to the back of wooden scenery

A small sailing pulley would work, and you can get various, some that screw on (although they can be like that, or through the block etc) or that you can add a small shackle or fitting to.

Look for 'Barton' blocks - you would want size 0 for small stuff like that.

Thanks Matt, those are too big though. The fact that the outer frame on them doesn't enclose the wheel means I can't cut a slot for the line either (I'd rather be able to hook it on instead of having it on the line whilst setting it up).

probably not small enough, but searched under plate fit pulley:
