[Rhodes22-list] re placing Mast Boom Car

[Tom Hogarty]

Went to the  hardware store and bought a 1/4 x 3" linch pin with a split ring
on the end that may work. It will be easy to grab to lower the mast, and can
be tied around the mast to prevent loss. I will try it out tomorrow.
Thanks to all.
Tom
