well i finally got my stuffing tube today and its bent to shape and test fitted,ive made a bracket for it out of ply with studs epoxied into it i will put a piece of ali bent to shape over the top of the tube to hold it in place.seems like it will work well,i will also install a small length of larger tube at the transome for this one to fit in so i can remove it easy when needed.the small length of larger tube will be glassed into the hull.once i get my new ferrule i will cut the flex to length and fix the flex into the ferrule using loctite retaining compound no 603.yup no solder just like the europeans do it!!
One of them Europeans like you, and me, you mean?
Yep, we have funny old ways eh?
I would still silver solder it - and an angle grinder with a nice thin (Steel cutting) blade went through my flexi cable nicely.
He he,
Glenn. Feeling not very European just now........
