I have made replacement tension fingers for Lofrans progress 1 windlass. These are CNC machined from 6061 Billet aluminum and clear anodized. I sell them in a kit with one bolt and one plastic washer. The price is $60 US Dollars which includes shipping to the lower 48 states. Please email me if you have any questions. I prefer to get paid through PayPal and you only have to enter my email address to send me the funds. dixonprecision@gmail.com

Just want to say thanks for making such a nice product! My dock neighbor needed a new finger for her progress 1 and so I directed her your way. I installed the new finger on her boat this past week along with a new spring and it not only looks great, but more importantly works and fits exactly as it should.

Thanks,
John

Ditto here, I think mine gave up the ghost yesterday, couldn't raise my anchor so had to do it by hand. If you have any available, sign me up for one please!

I've got you beat. I can't get the spring out either. probably going to wind up destroying it to remove it. Let me know how you are tackling the broken bolt. Mine is about halfway down the spring. I already have the replacement finger from Mr. Dixon.
 
yeah. not looking forward to it. but at lowes they sell a 8mm x 1.25 re tap tool for like $8. comes with a drill bit and re tap. gonna give it a shot and will keep you informed on how easy it is. ordered finger and spring already and just waiting for them. This is what you need

Update. This took about 30 minutes to repair. Got a 8 mm x1.25 drill and tap kit from home depot. Parts from dixonprecision are great. Well worth the repair. Finger and bolt $60, spring $22, tap kit $8. And works and looks great. Below is what you need to drill and tap

My replacement finger arrived yesterday, after ordering it on Monday. Very fast shipping! I'm waiting on the spring to arrive so I can install it. Looking forward to not having my pile of anchor rode on the deck any longer. :)
