Pearson 34-2 Keel Bolts

[Ralph3001]

Hi there,
I have to replace the Keel Bolts of my 1989 Pearson 34-2. Does anyone know if Pearson used to screw them into the Keel or mold them like a "L"- form?

Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Ralph

They are L or J shaped and will need to be melted out. Look at the Mars Metals web site and they give a good write up on the process. I wish you luck finding someone to do that in Chile..
