Fwd: Backstay chainplate

I’m sure I can figure it out but it’s just another minor PITA creating a template without pulling the old chainplate first.

Don’t have a template, but there’s a company in WA now doing this stuff out of Titanium. No stress corrosion cracking, and not much more expensive.

http://www.alliedtitanium.com/

If you don’t use them, make sure to use 316SS.

Cheers,

Phil

I just pulled out the chain plate. I’ll get a new one made and mean time I’ll be repairing the rotten deck core around where it penetrates the deck. Yikes I hope it doesn’t go too far I’m about 6” out now and still rotten. There’s moisture in much of that deck using a meter and I’m in the process (slow) of drying it out with moderate success so far.
