Plans for Keel Pin Brackets
Posted: Mon Nov 19, 2012 8:01 am
Hello, I have been lurking on this site for a few weeks now, and I've read thru almost every thread on this site and others that I can find. I am in need of a set of plans for the keel pin and bracket assembly to take to my local fab shop to have them made. I've seen multiple references to people making tracings of the assembly, but haven't been able to find an actual working link to them. I have some photos of the ones idasailor used to sell, but no measurements to go with them.
My brackets are toast, and I doubt they will survive the removal process for a pattern... I have an '83 Starwind 22(almost identical to the Chrysler22) that spent the first 20 plus years of it life in saltwater, and the last decade sitting on its trailer, so just touching the brackets with my finger cause them to crumble into dust and rusty flakes.
I also need to do this repair as quickly as possible once started, so I can keep my Mother In-law happy, I do most of my work in her driveway, which she gets upset if the projects take too long. It would be great to have the brackets fabricated prior to the start of the job to keep things moving as quickly as possible! Any help is greatly appreciated!!! I am planning on adding some content and documentation to the Starwind section of this site soon! Thanks, Scott.
