Peter,
That was kinda my point. If there is a gap then exposing the underdeck is
recommended. If there is very little or no gap, then one might be able to
sandwich the headliner between the backing plate and the underdeck without any
deformation at the perimeter of the backing plates
In the case of the Catalina I just did, there was little to no gap. When the
fasteners were tightened, there was no deformation in the headliner. Had there
been a gap, I would have traced the shape of the plate and cut it out with a
vibrating saw and a Dremel at the corners.

Isn’t the standard approach to cut away the headliner when installing backing
plates?

Peter,
I've seen boats with the conversion. A pier neighbor years ago did it on a
Cape Dory. He had Garhauer build it for him.
Garhauer makes the complete traveler system or just the mounting brackets
(UR-1 or UR-2) with pivoting bases to match the crown of the cabintop.
More importantly, my buddy up the bayou has a 35-1 with a cabintop traveler
so I know it can be done.
I had to strengthen the cabintop on my 35-1 when I upgraded the halyard
winches. There wasn't much beef there.
The issue may be any gap between the headliner and the underside of the
cabintop. You can easily put backing plates behind the brackets under the
headliner but there might be a bit of "crush" around the plates. I put some
aluminum backing plate under a couple of cabintop winches on a Catalina last
year. They came out looking nice.
If you need aluminum plate, there are a couple vendors on eBay that are
reasonable and fast.

Hi everyone,
Has anyone (DIY) installed a second mainsheet traveler on cabin top, or
moved the traveler to cabin top? I know that few listers have both cockpit and
cabin top travelers, was that factory installed? For cruising and living
aboard C&C 38, I find cockpit traveler to be very annoying and always in a way,
however the backing is very solid. Cabin top on the other hand does not look
very sturdy as a way to provide mainsheet traveler attachment.
