I have an Garhauer Rigid Boom Vang which I want to install. The mast end is easy, I am using the existing bracket to connect the boom vang. The boom connection requires a stainless plate with three holes on each side to attach to the boom.
My questions:
1. is it better to pop rivet using SS rivets (1/4" hole on bracket)
2. Is it better to drill and tap, the boom wall is so thinn it worries me
3. Since access to the interior of the boom is difficult is there another solution
4. Have a professional do it
This is for an Ericson 35-III
Thanks for any suggestions.
