[Rhodes22-list] cockpit table post holder

Tue Aug 18 12:33:39 EDT 2009

Todd,Thanks for the suggestion - your picture is accurate except that the flange is completely gone - now that I have had at it.  I will be able to get a better sense of the condition of the foam once I get the remainder of the  post holder out but from what I can feel with my fingers seems pretty firm - no doubt water has visited though, even with the various efforts I have made to keep the hole covered.  In any event, I think a saw either around the outside or from the inside out may be the only choice.  It has occurred to me that since the post holder in the floor seems firm and in good shape maybe all I need do is seal the bottom - that approach would certainly cause the least amount of intrusion/potential damage even if the result wouldn't lok as finished as a new piece altogether.Bruce----- Original Message -----From: Todd Tavares Date: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 6:50 amSubject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] cockpit table post holderTo: The Rhodes 22 Email List > That would make the repair easier.> >  ----- Original Message ----->  From: "michael meltzer">  To: "'The Rhodes 22 Email List'">  Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] cockpit table post holder>  Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2009 21:33:48 -0400> > >  IIRC it not cored, the foam act as a support>  -mjm> > >  -----Original Message----->  From: rhodes22-list-bounces at rhodes22.org>  [mailto:rhodes22-list-bounces at rhodes22.org] On Behalf Of > Arthur H.>  Czerwonky>  Sent: Monday, August 17, 2009 8:57 PM>  To: The Rhodes 22 Email List>  Subject: Re: [Rhodes22-list] cockpit table post holder> >  Todd,> >  Good suggestion and helpful.
