cargo bow stave stop

[fishtail]

What are the dimentions of the cargo bow stave stops? They appear to be quite simple, I just need to know what size it is, and the hole sizes. Item number 13 page 393 in the 1971 edition of the -34p manual.

Thanks,
Scott

I didn't look in the manual you referred to. This what you need, Scott?



Measures 2-1/4" x 1" x 1/4" thick.

That's exactly what I needed, thanks. I can match the bolt hole sizes to the wood piece (the stave).

THANKS Binford...we needed this after it was lost in the crash...

Here's more, thanks to Brute4c's sample!



Got some nice oak wood at Menard's (is that possible?) and cut them up for the cargo bow staves. Acquired a nice Craftsman router with table for free, and it even had the right bits. I did get the stave stops made from some nice tool steel. Now I'll have to wait until next year to paint......Brrrrrrrrr.

Hey, Binford, are those bolts holding the stave stops on regular hex head or are they countersunk into the wood (or carraige bolts) ?

They should be counter sunk carrage bolts to keep the bolt heads from wearing holes in the canvas.

Actually, on mine they are all pan-head Phillips pulled in tight to the wood. One or two of them have washers, but most of them are just pulled in tight. I can get a picture come daylight if you'd like.

BTW, these I believe were off an M35. They are not stock M715 parts.

Nice work on the wood, Scott!

Making mine too I got all the measurements except how long they need be?Any help thanks.

I acquired a original set of top bows. I measured the stave stops. They are actually 5/16 inch thick (.320 with a coat of paint, 5/16 is .312).

They measure 1 inch high, and 2 1/4 inch long. They actually measure a little longer, but they are shear cut, and not that clean of a cutoff.

The holes are .340 each and are spaced 1 1/4 inch apart on center.

I am going to manufacture these, and should have them available to ship by next week. I am also going to make the wood staves, too. I'll post when this all is ready to ship.
