woodman Posted November 6, 2015 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 Posted November 7, 2015 If you are padding them after installation, why not just glue them on? Quote
woodman Posted April 26, 2016 Author Posted April 26, 2016 These would be in the way if installed before the skin.... 3m contact cement to attach the foam...... Quote
oldpropfan Posted May 5, 2016 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
HBREW Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Another question not related to this topic, Did you purchase the large backband, if so where or is this your creation? Quote
