I think you have to have a pole, as the jib goes below the bridle point and down the compression strut. My forward jib blocks attach where the compression strut (bottom of the fore stay) meet the spin pole. What am I missing here?

Other than that - I don't know the stock #s on the pole or its dimensions. TikiPete may have half a pole he could send you <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
