dnme	Posted - 03 Sep 2011 : 02:20:07 The old trailer belonging to my N17 has a central steel beam, 100mm wide by 50mm high, hollow. I need to fit new keel roller brackets but cannot source bracket/u-bolt combinations any wider than 80mm (bolt hole fitting) I could drill through the beam top and bottom and run individual bolts to hold a keel roller bracket but then I loose the ability to move and adjust it along the beam to suit the keel curve. Can anyone help me with suggestions as to what I can do here? I have searched the web black and blue. ----------------------------------------------------- My Norman 17 restoration thread (pics and vids) http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056217528

sm0129	Posted - 03 Sep 2011 : 13:35:12 Im not an engineer but I would suggest using two bolts and make up a metal plate with two holes drilled in at approx 110mm centres- that should allow you yo clamp the roller and also adjust it when the bolts are loose.
