[Rhodes22-list] Bimini reply to Sheldon ...

[Sheldon Katz]

As someone is reputed to have said, one picture is worth 10,000 words.
 
Thanks !
 
Ideally, I'd like to attach the feet of the bimini to the existing track in lieu
 
of attaching it to the gunnels.
 
My Rhodes is an '83 with the long track. I have attached cleats to the
 
foreward ends of the tracks.
