Bob,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=345553514-18022005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>My
solution with the '85 MAYA II was to glue the pan and wing together, after
making a slip-in pipe mount,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=345553514-18022005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>and
leave the pipe hooked up all the time. The pipe was swung up maybe 15 degrees,
the wing slid on, and then bolted together.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=345553514-18022005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I like
your solution better.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><BIG>Along with Bob's suggestion you may want to consider this. I use
tabs similar to Bob but use 4-40 blind mounting nuts. On the 4-40 screw I
use a roofing nail washer which are available at Home Depot, key word
"cheap". I would suggest you take a 4-40 screw with you and get the smallest
size washer. These washers are convex and have a piece of rubber glued
to them. I find this system works great on any fiber glass, wood or the junk
plastic which comes with some kits. So far, over a period of several years I
have yet to have a crack in any of the mentioned materials where the bolt
hole is located.</BIG> </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
<DIV>Aside from admiring Ed's idea, another thought kept crashing around in my
brain, "How did Ed get a photo on the NSRCA Discussion List?" Come on Ed, fess
up. </DIV><BR>
