Capt Brad,
Went and got a 'easy out' to remove those damned allen head screws. The originals are thine walled pcs of SHIT that all fell apart as I tried to remove. A real bitchy job. Got 'em all out though. One or two will need to be retapped. I tried to buy replacement allen head scres but the ones at WEST MARINE are too long and would stick out ( and you can't grind them ) Any ideas where I can get these w/ a lower profile? |

Just a thought ....
To give the allen screws a better bite into the tubing, I drilled the tubing a "tad", and used slightly longer allen screws to set into the "T" joints and tubing. - Nick |

Finished the job ! I went to a real salty boat yard here and bought 20-30 lightly used ( actually really clean ) of the exact dimension screws I needed.
Even better, these particular screws had slots for a flat head screw driver instead of the allen key heads. I seated all in silicone to keep water out. Hopefully, this will last for another 28 years ! Anyone ever see those screws w/ slots instead of allen heads ? If so, let me know where, pls. Thx for your input guys. One small project done, on to the next, seemingly never-ending project ! |
