Hello guys,
I have been looking at the mod Dennis has made by raising his boom. I would like to do the same for at least three reasons.
- The boom will clear the spray hood properly
- It will help the neck ache I get looking under the boom
- It will help the boom clear my baldy head.
I see that Dennis has a couple of circular mast bands, I cannot do the same on Ladybird because the transition from Octagon to round on our mast is longer. I would either have to make an octagon mast band (not easy to get exactly spot on) or fit a plate to the mast. The plate I have in mind would fit to three flats of the mast and would be made in such a way that it would clear the gap in the tabernacle when the mast is lowered. My only worry is putting holes in the mast.
Has anybody else raised their boom?
Any comments.
Thanks
Ian
