[QUOTE="BYOB Fishing, post: 248782, member: 1756"] Well, I had some trouble with the corner braces. It turns out they are cast aluminum, and I broke one into pieces when trying to re-install it over my new aluminu angle transom cap. Turns out, its about 3/8" thicker than the old transom. So, I took some spare aluminum sheet and cut a shape out of it with the cutoff wheel...not easy when you need to cut a radius. But, I was able to attach it and bend it over the new cap. I think it looks pretty good. I also got started on the fuel fill support too, but ill have to finish that tomorrow.
