I'm thinking about making some changes to my jib setup and may remove a fitting or two. What is the best way to fill the holes in the extruded frames? Epoxy? Rivets with top hats? Both? Thanks in advance for anything! |

Most people just leave the holes. |

I've used rivets to fill the holes on my 17 mast. When I first got it, I removed the stock downhaul system and upgraded, so I needed to fill the holes to keep the mast sealed. If you do use rivets, I would definintely recommend using aluminum. They pop real easy and won't corrode the aluminum extrusion like stainless will. No need for top-hats since you're not trying to keep the crossbar sealed. sm |
