Kevin McCready 83 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 hoping to get a recommendation for someone to come to Okahu Bay hardstand to supply and fit 2 new D rings to my aluminium dinghy (fortunately I had a back up painter wrapped around the front thwart).

Freedom GBE 27 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Buy a ring, a few nuts and bolts, do it yourself. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrWatson 382 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Definitely just pop into a chandlery and pick up a ring of pretty much any kind. Take your drill and some rivets down to the dinghy and make good a repair. Paying someone will cost more than the dinghy is worth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boots 1 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Chop the remaining broken lug off with a hack saw carefully. Measure the pitch of the two middle rivets. From the Chandlers get a U bolt that best suits the pitch of the two rivets and diameter of the U bolt. Drill the two middle rivets out and with sealant and penny washers bolt it up. The penny washers might have to be pre bent to take up the contour of the inside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
