Stripped the thread on the bolt of my mastbase today, and it's been such a good thing that I'd like to get another of the same. This base has lasted 8 years of pretty constant use. It has "ART" on the safety webbing and also on the plastic base. Does anyone know who stocks these? Cheers
Hey Easty I have had the same mastbase and it came with a new Fanatic I bought years ago.Haven't seen any for a while.
Monty Spinler of Loft Sails was the dude behind ART sails, but they dont do mastbases
Windsurfingsales stock mastbases, but not exactly that, prob too old now
How about just replacing the bolt? If you can get it out, you may well find that it's a fairly standard part (or you might have to do a bit of grinding perhaps).
Just make sure you get the good stainless, not the lower grade stuff - tell the guy at the bolt place what it's for, and they'll be able to sort you out.
How'd you manage to strip it? Looks like it would have been impressive!
Could have Locktite on it. Don't know what you can do about that. You obviously can't heat it.
