Todd, the picture you attached to your previous email came through as a ".bin" file, which I can't open.  Can you resend that as a .jpg?

Did you leave the old chainplates in place?

Thanks again,

Mike

Michael,

Upon reviewing old photos, I replaced mine in the same manner as Slim,
going on Stan's advice.
I am attaching pics which Slim sent me, as well as a quick sketch showing
the construction layout of the cabin roof and why removing the chainplate
would be difficult. But at least you can see what it looks like inside.
