Wasn't sure which direction to go today but with all the GRP and resin work my craft room was a tip and time for another clean up.
Two hours later .........
As it's cracking the flags today I thought to get the deck fully primered.
Then I turned my attention to the stern and an opportunity to share my ideas with Kim as so far I've been taking his work
I've started with a template that can be used either way up to produce both fittings.
Initially I was thinking of brass sheet but I didn't have any thick enough and when I spotted the small pieces of double sided copper GRP I bought months ago it was a no brainer.
About the right thickness can band saw and table sand it drill & tap it and solder to it .
As this will be painted there is also no need for nickel bolts.
I will cut off all but the corner bolts and use those as fixings to the deck
