[C320-list] Covers for holes in headliner

[Jeff Hare]

You don't need to open  the headliner. There are no nuts or backing plates up there.The clutches and cleats on the cabin top are attached from the top and have machine screws that are tapped into aluminum plates that are embedded in the fiberglass.Look for the slightly raised smooth surfaces on the cabin top and elsewhere around the boat for these embedded aluminum plates.  The factory can explain where all these are.Jeff Hare

Before I start opening up the headliner… what have you used to cover the holes needed in the headliner to access the underside of the current hardware?Tim Van de WaterSV Coda #537 (1998)Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>________________________________From: C320-list <c320-list-bounces at lists.catalina320.com> on behalf of Roger Sullivan via C320-list <c320-list at lists.catalina320.com>Sent: Saturday, August 24, 2024 9:26:01 PMTo: C320-List at catalina320.com <C320-List at catalina320.com>Cc: Roger Sullivan <sullivanroger523 at gmail.com>Subject: [C320-list] I would like to add to the list
