[Rhodes22-list] Broken outhaul car

[Shawn Boles]

Hi All:

I took advantage of a local fabrication shop (discovermac.com) to match the
 broken piece using UHMW plastic.(See pic)  I had them leave a little
thickness on each side and tried it out. Needed another pass to get it
right. Seems to work well.
I am sending the broken outhaul and a too big block of the machined UHMW to
Stan.

I don't know whether I had a 'beefy' outhaul or not.

Cheers
Shawn
