Port Part
This of course is an old port light. The part indicated was bent and someone tried to straighten it. Now it is cracked. Where can I get a replacement? Or who might be willing to make one? The threads are 1/2 - 13.

Re: Port Part
Any competent machine shop should be able to thread up a rod, drill tap the boss, then assemble it. I would have it brazed or silver soldered to lock the threaded stem into the boss.
That is after trying to fix it by annealing it, straightening it and brazing the crack, then cleaning up the thread.Last edited by Peerie Maa; 11-28-2020, 03:48 PM.It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

Re: Port Part
Fritz. Before you fix or replace that screw you might want to consider how it got damaged. It looks to me like a combination of the old gasket and the misalignment of the port hole pieces were probably the cause. The hinge side is probably worn, and the gasket is way less flexible that it was when it was younger.Comment
