Thanks. Yes i am going to through bolt and use titanium chainplates and hardware from allied titanium, and use a sisterplate on the exterior. as the mast is still up i was going to do one or two at a time till its all done. the g10 looks very good, but its a bit spendy, epoxied plywood wouldnt be too hard. i was under the impression that a softer material like wood would have to be used. if not G10 fiberglass plate sounds like the perfect, never another problem fix that would pair well with titanium.
