Rhodies,



Does anyone have a good idea for fabricating a new bracket that holds the pop top (pop top side)? I recently broke mine as I forgot to release it before lowering the mast. I thought I could just use DAP epoxy and clamp it overnight, but that did not hold at all. The material appears to be HDPE and is very brittle.



I can probably purchase a chuck of HDPE and cut/drill a new bracket, but am wondering if anyone has a better idea for material or method? Photo attached. Note that the photo also shows the chamfered holes for the mast step tabernacle that I recently repaired. I used the method recommended by West Systems reported in a previous thread. This ended up working great, as far as I can tell.



Thanks,
