| 1. | When drilling out the rivets use a 6mm drill. Drill the side of the rivet that is curled over and reworked, not the side that is round but the side that is hollow.
(Please see picture to know what side to drill) |
| |  |
2.
| Drill just till the plastic releases and do not drill through the sail body. |
| |  |
| 3. | Push the rivets through in order to be able to take the widget of the sail.
(See picture) |
| |  |
| 4. | Place the new widget on the same angle as the old one and apply using the old holes. |
| 5. | Apply the screws putting the thicker one with the tread on the inside from the bottom of the sail body (starboard side of the sail) and the thin one with the tread on the outside from the top (port side of the sail). Tighten with only 1 rotation until all the screws are engaged.
|
| 6. | Apply even tension to all the screws. |
