spreader brackets

Post by sj24 »

Just lowered the mast and found all the all the rivets loose on the spreader bracket. I have hull # 132. The bracket wraps around the mast and has 4 rivets on each side. I found a reference to a bracket with 8 rivets per side in the old forum. Is this the same bracket with less holes or is there a newer brackt. Also is there a support inside the mast to prevent compression at the brackt ? I'll be pulling the spreaders and bracket off Sat. and will be inspecting for cracks.

Thanks,
Kevin
