And before you all say "I told you so," I'll pre-empt you: yes you did! Unfortunetely I didn't read those hints until after I did it.
Background: last year I purchased a beat-up old sunfish (and posted here for help in getting its value! - Thanks!), and promptly turned it upside down to fix the hull up. Before I did so I removed all the hardware on the top. I later found out that you aren't supposed to remove all the hardware at once and worried what would happen when I turned the hull back over. Well, I finally did so and could HEAR the block rattling around. I believe they are all intact except for one side of the bridle eye-pad. Any suggestions about hardware to attach the bridle without cutting in an inspection port to install a new backer block?
Thanks!
