[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=sax2ter]The nice folks at Salty Dog Marine have exchanged my short forestay with one of the correct length, (Thank You Very Much!)[/quote]
Glad to hear they took care of you.

At present, my proposed fix involves cleanly drilling out the hole in the tie-rod to a larger bore, and installing a bushing of some sort to make up a better interference fit. But, it seems like the bushing would need to have some sort of flange on each end to keep it centered on the hollow tie-rod, (don’t exactly know how I might fabricate this part).

Could you fill the tube with J-B Weld and then drill a new hole to the original size?
