Thanks again Darrin . I have the new laser cut armor plates without the four holes , but now I understand how it all works I was wondering about fastenings for the woods looks like 1/2 " round headed bolts I would need to make sure they where fix in place not to spin .. I'll wait if you don't mind for you to post a photo of your new 479-3 when you are at home on the weekend .. Dale

Default 479-3

Dimensions and pics
1/4" thick
1 1/2" wide
15 1/2" long (but I would check this against your hull to ensure that it is long enough to engage with the locating tabs welded to the centre bulkhead)
the ground radius/curve is roughly 3/4" in on both sides of the upper corner.
pic will show where the hold are, but this is not that important as it is not seen.
Holes must be countersunk for screw heads
chamfer is about 1/2" in, this assists with locating into those tabs welded to centre bulkhead
