Toad:
       your bracket doesn't look like my bracket.  Mine is flat with the =
shouds attached to each corner. The spreader eminating therefrom.

  All,

      The lower shrouds attach to the mast to a cheek bracket just below =
the spreaders.  There is a pin that goes through the shroud ends and the =
bracket.  This pin is about 1" long on my boat and the ends seem to be =
just flopping back and forth along the pin.  What should it look like?  =
I have attached a photo and a drawing so all can see what I mean.  Any =
and all info will be greatly appreciated.
