4. Nose
Plates
•
Place the keel and the leading-edge tubes on a pair of trestles.
•
The leading edges are not defined for port/starboard, but do have a front and rear. Examine
the holes close to the outer end, where the cross-tubes attach: the smaller (8mm) hole should
be turned to the outside of the frame, with the larger (10mm) hole turned to the inside.
•
Place the two large
nylon cup washers
(P355010),
located on the underside of the keel,
to align with the bolt holes.
•
Assemble the nose-catch
tensioning rail
(D251010)
pointing rearward from the bolts.
•
The 6-14 and 8-18 nylon washers
(B820610
and
B820810)
should be used between the
aluminum tubes and the aluminum nose plates
D255010
.
•
Note that the nose plates are positioned so that the longest side faces forwards.
•
Note that the rear keel bolt,
screw FHC 6-85-15
(B168710)
is longer than the front one,
screw FHC 6-80-12
(B168310),
with two
6x14 stainless steel washers (B810610)
on top of the upper nose plate to hold the upper rigging cable later. Do not tighten this nut yet.
