[Rhodes22-list] Mast raising

[Stan Spitzer]

I have none so settle for "Mast Crane mounting plate"

My fix, since I do not want to give up the reasoning: Do not drill 
holes.  I put a shaving of wood and epoxy in each hole and let it set 
up. If time, wait a day, drill 3/16 or 7/64 holes  (I never go through 
to the interior), let the 1/4-20 FH machine screws tap themselves .
