woodman Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Just an idea for securing braces to the inside of the cockpit ring....Using 1x1 aluminum angle. ....The angle would be attached prior to sewing, just go right over it....The 1/2"BB braces would be screwed to the aluminum and then cover with a stiff foam.....

Hirilonde Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 If you are padding them after installation, why not just glue them on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodman Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 These would be in the way if installed before the skin.... 3m contact cement to attach the foam...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldpropfan Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Nice idea; quick, simple, and easy to retrofit to an existing coaming. Have a question, not regarding the braces though. Noticed on your flickr page that you'd built a SOF with an internal skeg. How did you seal/glue the skin around the skeg opening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
