[Rhodes22-list] Bottom of IMF Tube

[Bill Effros]

Rummy,

I think there is supposed to be a flange on the beige piece on the left 
which has sheared off.  I think the flange is supposed to hold the 
fitting in place when the screw is tightened on the flange.  I think the 
furling tube is supposed to rotate inside the beige piece.  I gather 
from Wally that screws go into the holes on the rims of the black pieces 
to keep the black pieces from rotating inside the IMF chamber of the 
mast extrusion.  I don't think the beige piece is supposed to be cracked.

But I'm just guessing.  Do I have this wrong?  I think the beige piece 
on the right is in good shape, and that the beige piece on the left is 
supposed to look and function like the beige piece on the right.  They 
are not the same.

Annotated Picture attached.
