David,

 

I have a different style fitting because I have the standard mast.

But I could send you a chunk of 1½" KingStarboard if you want to try to fabricate one yourself.

How big of a piece would you need? 2"x6"?

Rhodies,



Does anyone have a good idea for fabricating a new bracket that holds the
pop top (pop top side)? I recently broke mine as I forgot to release it
before lowering the mast. I thought I could just use DAP epoxy and clamp it
overnight, but that did not hold at all. The material appears to be HDPE and
is very brittle.



I can probably purchase a chuck of HDPE and cut/drill a new bracket, but am
wondering if anyone has a better idea for material or method? Photo
attached. Note that the photo also shows the chamfered holes for the mast
step tabernacle that I recently repaired. I used the method recommended by
West Systems reported in a previous thread. This ended up working great, as
far as I can tell. 



Thanks,

David Berg
