Graham,
On mine, about a foot up on the backsyays there is a short length
of stay
wire holding a two inch long collars that hold the stainless steel
tube that
holds the sheeting gear. The short wires are crimped to the
backstay after
being run through a hole on the top and bottom of one end of the
collar . On
the other end of the collar is a 1/4" hole on the top ,which a fast
pin is
dropped,after inserting the SS tube, with a matching hole , inside
the
collar.
