[Public-list] Re: Great News - Toggles

[Brian and Elaine Timmins]

An elegant choice from an elegant engineer!
I wasn't happy grinding away as much as i did to make the angle look reasonable. Then when Chris suggested more, I looked at the sail plan and sort of agreed. As to Gord's comment, I understand about not overheating the parts. The only part that overheated was the sliver I cut off. The scratches are from removing the burr with less than the perfect tool. I would have polished them before actually giving them back, but wasn't going to polish until I knew I didn't need to cut more. Now they're just spares, so if you want them polished, it's up to you.

  Chris,

  It was my error in choosing the toggle from Schaefer. The toggles I picked up today are heavier and definitely fit the mast head. As Brian would say it was my boo boo, not anyone else. 

  When I looked at the photo's last night, I couldn't see using parts modified as such at sea on my boat. Therefore, I would not let it go on your boat.

  I would expect that you will like these toggles, let me know. 

  Stephen
