FX-1 Glue/ hardware for Ride plate mounts?

[swapmeet]

Does anyone know what holds the metal rideplate mounts to the hull?

I want to shorten my hull in the rear, and I was thinking of mounting them the rear most ones back to the hull after I cut it off. Is it simply glued on or is there hardware on the inside of the hull?

My plan is to re-mount them and drill new holes in the plate, and somehow plug the old ones.

Bump... somebody has to know the answer to this.

Yamaha uses that green glue. I've used thickened epoxy with good results.

See my build thread for details, I've done the very same thing you're wanting to do.

in addition to what matt said, there is a brass insert that the green glue is holding down. The only way to get to it is to cut a hole in the tray.

the rideplate mounts are bolted to the hull...those little brass insert pieces......there may be some green glue on the inside, but not likely




there's 2 bolts that go in laterally, then the rideplate bolt from the bottom



(the above mentioned answers are referring to SJ's I believe)

Idok is right, I was talking about a SJ

IDOK nailed it......2 bolts from the inside of the hull on each bronze block.
