Jim [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [email protected] 07/06/2007 11:29 AM Please respond [EMAIL PROTECTED] To [email protected] cc Subject catalina27-talk: mast track insert Does anyone know where I can get some aluminum or stainless that will fit into the mast track on my '85? I can cut it to the correct length but the width and thickness needs to match. I bought a digital compass and it uses velcro to attach to the mast. I would like to make a 3" long bracket that will slide in the mast track. I would screw it into the track to hold it in place. I made a prototype out of a metal bar from Lowes but that will rust. I could paint it but I have concerns that the paint will scrape off when I slide it down the mast track and it will rust. Thoughts?
