[quote=revintage]Did some more thinking while on my ski vacation. Found out it would probably be better with the joint between the beam straps. This limits overall beam length to 297cm, adding 21cm on each side, but thats just fine, considering the F18 rig to be used. Also went down to 100x5mm lengthening tubes.
Will not use the corroded original main beam, will instead use the leftover 100x2 tube from the first front beam build, as tubes are sold in 600cm lengths. Will use the original Nacra striker post, striker casting and ball.
Also remember this is a below $100 mod, with material already in my stash. Compared to using Nacra beamtubes of the same lengths, there is a weight penalty of 2.8kg.
Hope these simplified sketches are understandable, please comment if finding any radical errors. Also made a manipulated image from something I borrowed from Mr. Ragan on the internet.
