EXTRUSION
ASSEMBLY
Locatethe Feed Section from the Luff Sections. The Feed Section can be
identified as
the section
which has its luff grooves
machined
open ar its lower
end.
Slide the Feed Section over rhe top of the headstay;
lower end first. The Feed
Section is
designed
so
thar a standard
marine wire end fitting will pass
through the inside
of the secion. Slide this section
all the way down the
headstay
until its lower end is even
with the mark which locates
the lower
end of the Luff Section assembly
(determined in step
6 on
page
5).
Take
one of the black
plastic
Luff Bearings and twist it onto the headstay
abovethe Feed
Section. Insert it into the rop of the Feed
Section.
Take two of the Splice Pieces and mate them rogether
asa pair around the
headstay.
Insert them into the top of the Feed
Section.
Line up the two holes in the pair of Splice Pieces with rhe two larger holes
in the upper end of the Feed
Section. Insert a rivet into eachhole and fasten
them with a hammer. Note that the head
of the rivet should
sit inside the
larger hole in the Feed
Section locking the Splice Pieces
into place.
Take
one of the Luff Sections and slide
it over the top of the headstay.
Slide
it down over the Splice Pieces that are now sticking our of the top of the
Feed
Section. Rivet the Luff Section to rhe Splice Pieces.
Twist anorher
Luff Bearing onto the headstay
and insert it into the top of the Luff Section.
Rivet another set
of splice
pieces
into the top of the section.
Repeat
step
5 until the top of the
Luff Section
assembly
comeswithin 6'
of
the top of the headstay.
The last
section
to be assembled
should
be cut so thar when assembled
there
will be 1%" berween
the top of the Luff Section assembly
and the bottom of
the
wire terminal (Figure
2).
After cutting this upper Luff Section (be
sure to deburr rhe
edges),
slide it
over the top of the headstay
and rivet it to the Splice Pieces
which are
att-
achedto the next lower secion. Before
riveting, checkto make sure the dis-
tance
between
the top of the Luff Section and the end of the wire terminal is
It/2". After riveting, insert a Luff Bearing into the rop of the Luff Section.
To complete
the Luff Section assembly,inserr the two halves
of the Top
