First get to the chainplates
which require the least work
to get out.
They are all the same, so
make a template to helplocate the Bolts on the
hidden units in the Saloon.

Use a small drill and your templateto locate the Bolts; then use
the holesaw with the
guide hole and no bit.
As you can see, it wil l notalways be a clean hole and
it may have to be enlarged.
Don't worry, it all gets covered
in the end.NOTE: the bonding wire and the washer,
they have to come off and go back on again.
You may want to replace the bolts whilst you
are at it .....

The chainplate will not come out easily
it has to be worked out, having the shroud
stil l attached helped when working it side
to side.

At this point it is cheaper to replace than try
and find out just how bad that pitting is.....

Once the chainplate is out, get as much of the balsa core as you
can out of the deck around the hole; paint the area with resin
then fill it all with epoxy (West) filler, avoid voids......

Once your filler is dry cut away and fair so as to accept the new chainplates.
My new ones were a touch wider than the old ones.... I took off the shelf
Bar Stock....otherwise they would have had to make them up special and
that would have been very expensive....

With the Chainplates being bigger and because I thought it a good idea
I had new covers made up. Note....these are bigger and have no srew holes.
If the sealer is not holding them down, then they are probably leaking so
who needs screws anyway???? ............IT WORKS!!!!
