I am about to replace the port side upper side stay and am not sure if the upper connection is a screw/bolt or pop rivet. Before I drop the mast I need to know if I need to bring along a pop rivet gun.
Replacing side upper stay?

My upper shroud is attached to the mast tang by a jaw fitting with a clevis pin and a cotter pin.
My Dwyer mast on my 192 has a tang riveted to the side of the mast, and a fork type swage on the shroud, which attaches to the tang with a clevis pin and ring-ding. Look for Loos Fork Ends (Swage) on this page: http://www.apsltd.com/c-908-thimbles-sleeves-and-swage-fittings.aspx to see what my shroud fittings look like.
I can't imagine any reason for it to be different on a Z-Spars mast (which is the other mfg that did masts for 222/192.) There is no reason to permanently affix standing rigging to the mast, as in, rivet the standing rigging to the mast. Standing rigging should always be removable/replaceable.

Thanks for the replies. Now that I think about it it does attach with a clevis pin. You get brain cramps when you age. Thanks again. Should be an easy fix.
