[Rhodes22-list] Chainplate Problems

[John Shulick]

Ron,

Looking at the chainplate repair pictures you MIGHT be able to access that
spot thru the window I see in that picture. It dosen't look easy but with a
mirror and some special (custom bent) tools you might be able to avoid
cutting up your cabin.

good luck
