alife - I have been wondering about the aluminum backing plate issue and bonding with epoxy. If you skinned over the core and backing plates but drilled and tapped through would that be enough to let moisture out. Is that inviting water and would it be best to router out, skin the recess, and then epoxy glue plates to new cloth wet on wet. Not worried about huge stresses on the lean post but I am also trying to figure a way to put a pylon back with three or four solid mounting points behind the lean post.
