get the through bar and plates from Shumway. What you have is the "saddle
and tangs" system. That bends back and gives really bad mast
control. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=347095919-18042007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>At
least two of the holes on the plates will fit where the saddle goes in.
You can then use the plates as a guide for cutting the hole. Cutting the
hole is a real leap of faith. If you can wait until I get back the the
Twin Cities late next week I will help you. I also have a pop rivet puller
which will pull stainless steel rivets with a minimum of
effort.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>If you can keep the currently plate - that would be best. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You also have the option of using the existing holes. I did
this by making two aluminum plates instead of using the factory
stainless. Then you can drill holes to match the existing ones
in the mast. The aluminum plates won't cut into the thru bar. Any
hardware store can sell you a strip of aluminum that you can bend to the mast
shape. Mine are about 1/8 thick. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Whatever you decide to do, it is important to use a pair of clamps to
slightly compress the mast side to side while you drill the holes through
the spreaders into the thru bar. The bolts or clevis pins should fit
tightly and exactly into the spreaders and the bar. Sand and file the
base of the spreaders first so that they fit snugly to the side
plates with the new angles that the thru bar give you. Then when you
release the clamps the mast will expand against the base of the spreaders
giving you a tight fit and preventing any motion that will cause wear in the
future. </DIV>
