Unregistered | Hi Nick,
if your strut has no adjustment, some don't they just have a pop rivet in the botton to hold strap in place. You can tighten it by removing rivet the putting a spacer in and a new longer rivet. Use a lever to open up the space to sqeeze the spacer in which pretentions the strap. Didn't realize this was a common occurence until seeing Greg Goodall attack a Capricorn one day. | | | Re: Dolphin Striker

It wasn't hard to do because there are a set of bolts through the beam and the strap just inboard of the hulls. Undo these, insert spacer, fix spacer in with bolt (in my case), and tighten the tensioning bolts back up. Worked like a gem, got about 5mm prebend in the beam now.
Atleast the strap is under tension now before the rig tension comes on. | | |
