Damn these MABs

Dodged the rain showers on Saturday to put a liferaft cradle on the coachroof. "Yes, sir, it's complete with all the fittings" says yerman in chandlery. And so it is, 'cept the machine screws supplied to mount the thing are too short to go through the GRP of a 27 year old coachroof. Thank Evans for the screwy section of Aladdin's Cave where I upgraded from 18mm to 25mm.

Liferaft? If you don't want the Classic Boat police after you, you should fit an open clinker sailing and rowing lifeboat and davits. Airfix do one that'll fit just nicely. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It's a MAB ferchrisakes. A few 3" zinc nails whacked in, topped off with some hot tar and Robert's yer mum's bro, surely?
