Greg,

I'm not exactly sure where you are talking about metal on metal, but I know 
 enough that it isn't a good idea. You need a bushing of some sort between 
the  metals to ease operation and prevent corrosion. I've seen the insides 
of several  cb trunks and know that Stan always used a pvc or other plastic 
as a  bushing.

I was able to get my CB out today. It was actually a  really good day down 
at
the boat, I got a lot of work done. She was rocking  like crazy from the 
wind
even though she is on her trailer on the hard.  

Here are some pictures of how mine is currently rigged. "Rigged" is  
probably
a perfect description. I thought the end of the tubing (pin) would  have
gouged out the sides, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. I will be  coping
your pin, and I will be glassing a piece of ss tubing into the hole  through
the CB. I want metal on metal where the pin is. I will also replace  the
tubing with some kind of blocks, I haven't figured out how  yet.

Thanks again for the  help.
