[Rhodes22-list] Attach pully to spreader arm ??

[Steven Alm]

Rory,

I say go ahead and drill the holes.  It's not a precious piece of furniture,
it's just an aluminum pipe.  As long as you're using it to hoist something
light weight it'll be plenty strong enough.  I had to drill a new hole in
mine last year where it meets the mast.  No biggie.
