Roger: 
My 76 has the same bracket except that it does not have the ring or eye
strap. I wonder if that was added by a previous owner. Do you have a track
stop to keep the pop top down when the boom vang or Cunningham is in use? If
it works well I might copy that.

Hi All,

I've attached a picture of the pop top slider connection on my older (1976)
standard (i.e. non IMF) mainsail Rhodes 22.  As you can see, it's a simple
weldment.  The bent sheet metal slides up and down in the mast slot.  The
bolt attaches to a pair of brackets on the leading edge of the pop top.  The
ring is the lower anchor point for the boom vang and Cunningham downhaul
tackle.

The front of mine is quite rough as well. I have a picture, but it looks a
lot like yours (and I use a Mac).
