I have 2 stanchions that are bent, The port side near the cabin bulkhead is impossible to see or even feel. Does anyone know if this is through bolted or is there going to be a backing plate and nuts? I was thinking of trying to remove them from the top in the hope that they are attached to a plate embedded. If they are not I was thinking of grinding the heads off the bolts topside to get the base off and then cut away material from inside to reinstall. Silly question is there a fastener that can be done from the top down such as a toggle bolt?
