Wood Mast Socket

If you looking for the old model cup that fit onto the bottom of a solid wood mast built to old Sarns plans, it is not likely that you can find one. Suggest you use the Sarns current model "screw-in" cup. Drill a hole in the bottom of the mast deep enough and large enough diameter to accept the threaded portion of the current cup. Then make a large aluminum washer the diameter of the base of the mast with the hole in the washer large enough to accept the threaded portion of the cup. This washer will serve as a bearing surface so the cup doesnt work itself up into the mast over time. Then merely glue the cup and the washer to the base of the mast with WEST epoxy and a filler.
