main sheet bridle

gregg · Post by **gregg** » Thu May 28, 2009 6:42 pm

does anyone know what is in the main sheet bridle mount on the stock C-26 is inside that hold the blocks down.I made custom risers for a traveler and two screws on one side and one on the other are stripped. I would like to just retap them to 1/4-20 if its a plate I just painted the inside ceiling would hate to cut it all out

Thanks Gregg

Hey Gregg, I think it is just a piece of wood, like the mast step. Was there any residue on the screw threads that could give you an indication?

Also, I just got a piece of track for my C26, and I was trying to decide on what to use for a riser, what did you use, and do you have any pics?
I am planning on bolting all the way through and using a backing plate on the cabin ceiling, I figure that anything that can be beefed up, should be.

I do have some photos of them I'll try to post tomorrow. the screws that mounted the blocks on are 10-24, four on each side I'm afraid that they are wood nuts with the little grippers to grab the wood and three are just spinning

I was thinking to use some long wood screws to help it out also if ist's wood in there

I'm pretty sure mine is same as SailMonkey's reply in the For Sale Section - thrubolted. But I'll verify that whe I get over to the boat.
