I replaced one of Touche's old aluminum frame ports with a Lewmar. Very pleased with the job. It wasn't overly difficult. The only trick was to ensure uniform spacing between the cabin structure and headliner. I used small dowels to shim as necessary. You could use tongue depressors, Popsicle sticks, wooden ice cream spoons, etc. just as well.
I have pics of the job on my computer at home. Unfortunately, I'm still in Colorado for another couple weeks before I can send them. I could get the Admiral to send if needed. Dennis C.
