Re: Alternative to an Edson Wheel Cover???

Re: Mast collar clearance

It sounds to me like you need to make a new wedge. the clearance should be uniform around the collar. It's a fairly easy job with Spar Tight. I ended up using 6 trapezoidal pieces of HDPE about a 1/4 thick, approx 1 1/8' square, one side cut at 5-degree angle to be able to adjust mast center when dr...

Re: Mast Collar

I tried and tried to get a new wedge ring from Rig rite, they just would not respond (kept saying they would call, never happened) I used Spar tight, worked really well. I had to make some trapezoidal-shaped wedges out of 3/8 HDPE with about a 5 degree cut to put between the studs for the collar and...

Isotherm compact water cooled refridgertion install

Put one of these in my F30 restoration project, it was not too bad of a job, if it works as advertised (Juneish till she gets wet). I went with the holding plate, installed in the top aft of the box. A bit tricky to blind drill and screw it in, all by sound and feel, had to use a few pieces of wood ...

I am also going to need a new mast wedge, among other items. I am ...
