Re: Chainplates
Drew,
Nice looking instalation. Could you provide some details on how you fashioned the raised pieces surrounding the chainplates? Or did I miss that on an earlier post?

Re: Chainplates
The cover-plates are made from 1/4" fiberglass sheet and painted. There is a generous bevel cut in the bottom of the slot where the chainplate penetrates the cover-plate and also in the deck. I added the bevel as a way to hold more sealant adjacent to the chainplate.
As for fabrication:
I cut them out with a hacksaw, rounded the corners with a palm sander, cut the slots with a carbide burr in a dremel, and squared the corners of the slots with a file.
The cover-plates and the chainplates are bedded in copious amounts of sika 291.

Re: Chainplates
Sounds like a top shelf way to do it, and looks good too.

Thanks for providing the details which I plan to emulate with my chainplates.
