[C320-list] Mid-ship cleats

[Jeff Church 387]

Chuck,

Check out the link below. These worked very well and the installation 
was not bad. The rail is over 1 1/2" of solid glass. Just backup with 
standard washers. There isn't room under there for a backing plate. I 
used a 2-bolt open base cleat that has a fairly narrow base so that it 
fit the width of the rail. I think the ones that I used were 6" Perko 
cleats. Catalina Direct has some 8" cleats that might work.
