Product Description
WHITE textured nylon surface can be dyed a color. BLACK is best for UV protection.
IMPORTANT to verify Track Depth is 18mm and slot cut is Slot 6" x 1/2".
(TD of 18mm means that the channel diameter is 5/8")
DRILLING INSTALLATION for Nipple pin : The insert sleeve is symmetrical, with two protruding nipple pins. Insert a #55 drill bit into each nipple pin's drill guide hole before centering the insert into the feed slot. Lightly hammer the drill bit to make a mark into the aluminum channel. Remove the insert to center punch marks and complete the drilling. Use 1/8" drill bits, then finish drilling holes with a 3/16" drill bit. Hand twist a larger drill bit in the holes to remove burrs. Nipple pins of the nylon insert will key into the holes to prevent unintentional sliding in the channel.
REMOVAL: Top & Bottom ends of the insert sleeve have outer edge notches. Squeezing notches together with a large tweezer or hemostat type plyers make it easy to pull the insert up & out. Reviewed on StingySailor: https://stingysailor.com/2018/03/03/product-review-mastgates-sail-track-gates-2/
