This is a 1985 Capri 14.2 Model #1 with a standard aluminum mast.
I bought a length of 1/8” thick x 2” wide aluminum bar and cut two pieces to fit on the outside of the Baby Bob mounts, and inside the mast.
The fitting is made very rigid by using 4 machine screws and nylon lock nuts that sandwich a ~1” thick x 2” x 2” wood block that i coated with water seal.
Drilling 8 new holes in the Baby Bob mounts was very difficult, but i just went slowly so as not to overheat the drill bit.
The whole assembly is easily removeable with no tools, and fits very tight with no movement. A lot of custom fitting went into this, but it turned out very nice
The other posts on how to do this were very helpful, thank you!!
