[Rhodes22-list] Spreader bolt / washer - pop top slider pin

[Chris Geankoplis]

Good idea to replace the bolt and unlock nut. You do not need to remove the
IMF tube to do this. Use all new bolts and nut.  I reused the old nylock
nut and lost the spreader in a squall, damn near lost the mast. Alice was
not so happy. I had to use a boat hook to re tension the port shroud and
limp into the marina in Elba, see picture.

The shims you can make if you can’t get them from Stan.
