Default Dbl Brnz Chainplate

Ahoy Ben, my dbl shroud chainplate is 2 3/4" wide and 24 1/2" from the bottom edge to the toggle hole at the top and then has the needed shoulder width. We used 3/8" carriage head bolts.

I did photograph it so that you could see the staggered hole pattern, but I don't know how to post it as an attachment yet ,,,,,,,,, oh , later I see we can't post attachments here, drats !

Another thing comes to mind, which I heard somewhere, and put to good use, is after form bending the brnz to fit the curve of your hull , then give the lower tip of the plate a little extra bend in, before mounting it. This is suposed to keep the chainplate tip tight against the hull during hull flex and loading.
