I need to remove my stem head due to lifting. There is a 3/4” ply backing pad below that the stem head is bolted to. This has rotten over the nearly 50years of service. I’m thinking of removing this and replacing with G10 or alternatively 20mm Tufnol sheet. This would be bedded in place with thickened epoxy to the underside of the fibreglass deck and then be overlaid with a heavy weight biaxial cloth and epoxy.
My question is would Tufnol be ok in this location? It would need to be able to take compression from the bolts.
