My friend, Rick, finally machined a mount which encompases the mast extension and it's a great job...He said it took about forty-five minutes to make. He used a 2" by 4" block of aluminum; drilled through it to match the extension; cut it in half; then attached it with for zinc-coated bolts. The righting bar attached perfectly.
Where was he when I was trying to find a solution for myself?
