[quote=revintage]Hi Lecrin2022,
No need to massacre your hull with a grinder :-O . Cut the screw heads and fill all open old holes. Don´t redrill them or remove the remains of the screws! Instead move the track and move the tramp rails something like 1/2" rear or forward and drill fresh holes. When replacing them use something like Sika 292 between rail and track to hinder salt water to reach the joints. When I removed my tracks on both 5.5 and 5.8 to go selftacking, the rails didn´t look nice due to severe corrosion in the anodized rail. When redoing, be sure to find long enough Monel rivets. Tominpas exploding rivets is also a good choice.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by revintage on Feb 17, 2022 - 01:15 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
