| Anyone fabricate their own chainplates?
Along with damage to my bowsprit, pulpits, stanchions, deck, gelcoat, mast and engine - hurricane Ike also bent or severely damaged every chainplate on the boat. I found that I can get enough 1/8 304 ss flat bar to replace all of them for about what most 'marine outfitters' are asking for a single chainplate (if not less). Has anyone fabricated their own chainplates? What special consideration needs to be taken when approaching such a project (ex. bending, drilling, polishing)? Looking for any advise and/or guidance. thanks, Ed |
