A little term bitchin' here.
The threaded thingy that goes inside the mast to hold the tangs tight
is a called through-bolt (even though in most cases it is a stud) not
a tie-bar. And it goes inside a compression tube so it can be
properly tightened without deflecting the mast sides towards each
other. The compression tube was especially important in wooden masts
to prevent movement and elongation of holes.
I may be pissin in the wind here and I concede most people use the
term salon instead of saloon, but I endeavour to preserve to use of
as many other old terms as I can.
Cheers, Russ

....the most difficult one is getting the cap shroud in its tang and
then screw the tang into the tie bar inside the mast.....the shroud
and the tang have to rotate as one.
