Gang,

So I've inspected and rebedded the upper and lower chainplates and made my way to the backstay chainplates to check them out.  I stuck my camera in there to take a picture first and it looked really rusty so I will be taking them out and checking or replacing.  I couldn't find anything on Catalina Direct so here I am.  Has anyone replaced their backstay chainplates and where did you get your replacement, etc?  Can you buy a "blank" from WM or some other rigging co?

Send your old ones to Garhauer and they can make up new SS ones for you.

Joy : I've never heard of this - rusty back stay chain plates??

Are you sure that the chainplate itself is rusty or is it the nuts and/or washers that are rusty?

I wont know for sure until I take them off but from the pictures I took I really need to check it out.  My other chainplates looked better but still had some rust on them.  I used a wire wheel to clean them up and they turned out to be fine.

I am also in Tierra Verde, PM me and I will provide you the name of a great Machine Shop in Gulfport that can easily fabricate new ones in SST should you need them!
