Hi guys, a board collector friend of mine picked up this great looking restored Hansen and asked me to help him attach the fin. Looks like it was originally a wave set, with just a single bolt going through the boards deck into the base of the fin. The guys restoring it made a replica fin out of airplane glass, it just needs to be bolted on to finish the job.
Question is where can i get the proper bolt for this? I have a tap and die set to make the proper threads inside the base of the fin. If they don't sell the bolts anywhere does anyone out there know what the bolt looks like (length, thread, width, ect..) and i can go rummage through home depot.
Second question: the board is missing a box for the fin. Originally there was a plastic box in there right? Looks like the inside however is laid up pretty sturdy with resin/glass and the base of the fin fits in there snug. Hopefully it wont crack up in the water with airplane glass pushing up against it. Cant imagine they sell the box for this thing anywhere, correct me if im mistaken.
Thanks!
