Notes on the shapes and sizes of things

So I don't forget, here are some of the sizes I discovered during this latest maintenance.

Spreaders are aluminum tubing, 1 1/2'' o.d., 1/16'' thickness, 36'' long. Spreaders are installed with #10 tapping screws.

Clevis pins for fore- and back- stays are 5/16'' diam, 1 1/2'' fetch.

Clevis pins for lower shrouds *should* be 1/4'' diam, 5/8'' fetch (what's in there now is 3/4'' fetch, I believe).

Masthead hardware is installed with #10-24 machine screws and nuts.

Bottom of mast is screwed on with #10 tapping screws.
