Whisker pole track & rivets

Where do you get them ? I agree with the machine screw suggestion. I disagree with the use of SS machine screws. Use aluminum machine screws instead. Seal the threads with blue Locktite. This avoids the battery effect when salt water gets in the threads between the SS screws and the aluminum mast. Wilbur Hubbard |
