Subject: mast parts - correction

Last year I made a new spreader bar from a stock aluminum extrusion from a wholesaler. The extrusion had square corners which I ground off with a belt sander to match a borrowed spreader bar, and I bent the bar to match the original extrusion. Ballenger said the original extrusion came from a supplier in Australia and was no longer available.

:: OK, correction: the old spreader sections and spreader
