[Rhodes22-list] Chainplate Problems

[Lou Rosenberg]

I have to say that when I put in my Beckson portlights in 04 I could  
see the chainplates but to access them in a serious way to
replace them you need to make the cut and work that way.  There are  
so many ways to patch the job so no one will know.  It will be faster  
and safer to just cut the area away.

just my 2 cents
