Mast Vang Eye

I just bought a new boom vang -- there wasn't one on my MOD 1 when I got it. I'm having trouble figuring how the vang eye is secured in the mast track. The vang eye came w/ 2 machine screws, but there are no threads in the holes in the vang eye, and no holes in the mast to screw them into (I'm reluctant to just drill a couple of holes as I'm uncertain how well the machine screws will hold). As a result, I can't tighten it down and it slides freely in the track. What am I missing?

I think you're missing a part. Catalina lists a "Vang fitting, mast" in their parts list. (Part number J6120) I think that's what you need. Call them at 818-884-7700 and ask for Parts. They take credit cards and are usually very prompt about mailing stuff.
