[Alberg30] DECK BEAM REPAIR

[Mike Lehman]

Tony Fortnam (Valency #272) purchased 3/8" Aluminum plates from Washington Aluminum Co. In Baltimore (410) 242-1000 ext 301 ask for Kirk. The plates are made from 6061 grade aluminum and are cut using a computerized water jet cutting process and therefore a very even cut. I installed them, and found that I had to do some "final fit" like rounding edges and corners. This was done easily with a 3" belt sander. The finished job give the appearance that this was an original part of the boat instead of an aftermarket repair. See attached photo.

          THE  GUIDE  ON  REPAIRS  WAS  VERY  INFORMATIVE. CAN  ANYONE  PROVIDE  ME  WITH  DETAILED  INFORMATION  ON  HOW  TO  OBTAIN  THE  STAINLESS  BRACES  SHOWN ?
