[Rhodes22-list] Chainplate reinstallation

[Ronald Lipton]

One word of caution.  I rebedded my aft lower chainplate a couple of years ago.
I expected the chainplate to go straight down along the cabin wall so I drilled a hole
in the cabin liner - no chainplate.  It turns out that the chainplate is bent by 90
degrees and bedded under the plywood spacer.  I replaced the rotted wood and
epoxyed around the chainplate.

Now that I look closely at what Slim did, he might have used sheet metal screws on both sides to provide the same ability.  I don't think you want a strong though bolt that won't give should another serious problem occur.  If you're discussing with Stan, might see what he recommended.  Or maybe Slim will chime in. - rob
