- basically if you want to remove the tramp tube you will need to stainless/monel rivet the front beam straps to the beam to stop it rotating
- the jib wires can go under the tramp if the saddles are also moved below but the wires will need to be slightly longer to do so, or use a high tech not-stretch line

- most people cut slots in the tramp to bring the wires up for the blocks with sewn on reinforcing, but i decided on plastic eyelets, you just have to be very sure of where you want the blocks to go

- i thought the tramp tube disappeared from the 5.2 before 1985...what's the hull number at the back of the boat?
- later 5.2's, 1985 onwards?, had the jib block position moved out closer to the hulls, that's the position you want to copy
