[C320-list] Spreader composition?

[Steve Magennis]

I think I'm coming down with "Sometimer's disease", and can only
remember some of the time (I installed the eye strap in April, '02, and
although I have a good memory, it's pretty short).  As I remember, it
was about 1/8" thick, and I used a #8 or a #10 fine thread machine
screw with lock washers.  For a better answer, contact Charleston
Spars.  They should be able to tell you the thickness of the spreader
section.
