welding railings still on boat....

[duncan]

The railings on Phaeton have taken a bit of damage over the years, but removal is very much a last resort - can't get at a couple of the nuts.

 

Not looking at a perfect cosmetic job but is it a possibility? Basically it needs a new threaded stud in the forward stanchion base, one stanchion bent and split in the middle and one sprung weld where a middle rail has come away from the stanchion.

 

Any suggestions as to who to approach?

 

Cheers

Most welders used to TIG should be able to do so. Pete did most of JV's onsite and I know it's pretty common on the bigger boats he works on where removel isnt an option.

 

The welding would be the easier bit - polishing and picking the rails after welding might be a bit trickier, but not impossible.
