Tor,
I'd give Rig Rite a call. They stock aluminum winch pads and they also know the Pearson spar dimensions. One bad experience by a 424 owner may not be the norm. In my experience they were laid-back, but met my expectations. They are definitely not the folks you want to deal with if you need it yesterday.

Just 2 cents, but I'd use HDPE which is the generic name for 'Starboard' and is pretty cheap. It's easily machined, never cracks, chips, peels, splits, checks or powders. You could do the whole thing with a bandsaw. Also, it's non-conductive.

I was hoping someone in our 424 group had been through this and could say, oh, call so-and-so, they have the mold or they have a generic part that works. Barring that (or getting lucky at the used boat gear place), maybe I'll have to fabricate my own part after all. I'm pretty sure I've figured out a fairly easy way to do it and it would be kind of fun.
