Mantus Anchor Bracket Mods needed

I've just received a Mantus Anchor Universal Bracket to carry my spare anchor at the stern. Nicely fabricated and reasonably priced. I mounted it on the rail, without dropping any bits in the drink, and tried to drop in my anchor.
Although the literature says that my Fortress FX-37 will fit, it doesn't.
When I contacted Mantus I was informed "we have had customers grind the channel wider to fit the fortress"
I don't have a grinder small enough to fit the space where it should be ground so I need another solution.

It's 9/64" 316 SS, nicely polished. The only solution I have at hand is my dremmel with a diamond disc cutter and then file straight and polish.
Anybody done that?

Re: Mantus Anchor Bracket Mods needed

Good News!

I got another email from Mantus saying that they have developed a larger anchor bracket and have shipped it to me. Should be here this week.
It's a prototype so doesn't show in their catalogue.

Now I can get that clumsy beast secure without dismantling it.

Thank-you Phillip at Mantus.
