Dolce_Vita:
Greg,

  Be careful, as I think they're all unique due to the hand-drilling of the holes.  It was quite noticable on the one I removed.  My fabricator had to use the old one as a template to drill the holes in the new one in order to get it to fit back on the existing holes in the fiberglass knees.

Also, the ones for the upper shrouds are longer and have one more hole than the ones on the lower shrouds.

Ed,

I appreciate your reply. I'll have the mast pulled and then have all six made, plus the back stay. I pulled up one of the covers today and found rust below the deck cover plate. I'ts time.

Thank you,

Greg

FWIW, I pulled my chainplates and sent them to Garhauer to use as templates. As always, they did a great job, at a reasonable price.

Mine looked fine, but after 40 years, I thought better safe than sorry. If you can see rust I would not hesitate!
