Re: Stus-List Forestay Stem Fitting / Chainplate Replacement
Hi, If there are no cracks maybe you can passivate it so rust won't come
back.

with Josh, that is just iron deposited from an unfortunate incident. Sand it
off, and go to a grit you are happy with, and soak it with something acidic to
remove surface iron, a poor man’s passivation. You can then polish it if you
like. I am sure it is fine. Bill ColemanC&C 39 Erie, PA From: CnC-List

to be replaced. The Stem Plate is bolted through and they are all accessible.
Has anyone does this before? Do you have a machine shop in Annapolis area that
you have used before (besides Kato)? Here is another picture of the setup:

Re: Stus-List Forestay Stem Fitting / Chainplate Replacement
Great idea! I really don't want to replace it if I don't need to. I will polish the surface and check it out before moving forward... Cheers, Aaron R.

Atlantic Spars may be able to fabricate one for you. I can't tell if that is surface corrosion or something sinister.
