captain_hook Posted November 23, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 23, 2019 Hello everyone, I’m building an AVS and substituted the kit supplied casting shroud cleats with syren shroud cleats. The plans tell me to seize the casting ones inbound to the shrouds on both sides (as shown in the picture). But the syren cleats do have a grove in the center that the casting ones don‘t have. Are the cleats seized to the shrouds using that grove in the center or as supposed in the plan and then - what is the grove supposed to use for?

Jim Lad Posted November 23, 2019 Share #2 Posted November 23, 2019 Andreas, here's a photo of a shroud cleat on the 'Endeavour' replica here in Australia, which might be helpful. John mtaylor and allanyed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted November 23, 2019 Share #3 Posted November 23, 2019 Either two or three seizings are appropriate. mtaylor 1 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
