It seems pretty radical to replace those chain plates . . . I might take them out and X-Rayed . . . . or even add some metal . . . .
I picture a U shaped stainless ‘cover’ that goes over top, and still fits into the shroud toggles – spread the load of each individual hole better to the other one . . . . And/or I’d analyze exactly how much metal is left and do a structural calculation on the shroud loading to see how much safety factor is left . . . I’ve never heard of a failure . . . . (Too bad I can’t remember those structural calculations . . . ) Rob Ball C&C 34
