Re: Spreader diameter? 1970 #504 type 1

My T27 #314 only has notches at the spreader end for the upper shroud to run through which I then secure with seizing wire
This matches my memory of the mast on #328; notches only, wire up, cover with a boot and call it done.
The upward angle of the spreaders (somewhere less than 10 degrees off horizontal) comes from a fitting that goes through the mast and would be 5/8" stock that goes into the spreader tubes.? That 5/8" piece has the proper bends in it and is held in the "upward" position by I can't remember how.
Pretty simple rigging setup mostly.

EDIT,? Chris Ranney, Tartan Customer Service replied in one day to my web contact question...¡°T27 Spreaders are 1¡± OD, 5/8¡± ID. My T27 #314 only has notches at the spreader end for the upper shroud to run through which I then secure with seizing wire. We have the mast from T27 #295 here at the moment, it appears to have a solid plug welded into the end with a groove machined into it for the shroud.
I can confirm that the upper shroud is designed to be attached to the inboard chainplate. Lowers go outboard. This arrangement allows for a slightly tighter lead on the genoa sheets.¡±
Initial Post for Type 1 hull...
To those now on the hard...please help me with spreader dimensions where end cap fits in? Both cap shrouds pulled out in a good wind with new sails. And these upper shrouds were pinned to outer chain plates. I¡¯d read the corrections here, but didn¡¯t look at mine.
In Kerr Lake, N Carolina. Learning lots here from many posts. Thanks for your generosity.
