| Post subject: | Loose rivets & pseudo-dolphin-striker on the read cross |
Hi friends, I have often had loose rivets in the rear corner casting. Replaced them many times with stainless ones but still had them loose after not many hours sailing. At a certain time I noticed that the rivets on the forward corner casting were always good and my understanding was that the dolphing striker was helping to keep the three pieces (left corner casting-crossbar-right corner casting) together. I have then added a wire between the rear left corner casting and right one as the referenced pictures show (you have to follow the three links to see them, I couldn't embed them in the topic because they have no "jpg" extension). I wanted to ask opinions here about this idea, Especially: 1. I wanted to understand whether this solution can really help or it is useless. 2. I am worried of adding tensions that could solicit the structure in an unexpected way. Any other comment is welcome. Thanks, Fabio http://storage.msn.com/x1p4JHjVbcjTC8cLEkg8-E0fnYLwNoA5l0tq49miu8VA7MqkDErFEyv08xV7bs6lDbl8LysS6u7VioC_8G74_p8fl16N0i9v0a1zEhApa0bEUhSM1FBiVrcq3ldZFSFWocWB6Dj_8R_qD8-tl-od3R9pg http://storage.msn.com/x1p4JHjVbcjTC8cLEkg8-E0fnYLwNoA5l0tq49miu8VA7P_aDWdbDC8gxcsMrivyFcRXPZD8pDfZWDzjUrSUqdM6xfEhbdYyAT7hWMSz8zOwZVP5VPboOl6Qa1sgao3qLwtDGNoeeAKw_CvyqEzE4jh4Q http://storage.msn.com/x1p4JHjVbcjTC8cLEkg8-E0fnYLwNoA5l0tq49miu8VA7MZ2Uw1ilYYFZeoFYXWBMafvayeai_mCp_gzCYrNDmFOAs_arYzCIu8wojzXp_dXOR4zTbfy3zJsFJeKNtXYJFRMTUWNET_Gu6hCW4d0wx4-g |
