Hallo,
On my SO37 the grab handle on the steering pedestal has a stainless steel loop bracket. The bracket with the two screws was too weak. I have built a wooden reinforcement and replaced with the screw. If someone wants to have the details, please PM me.
greetings
Klaus

Hello Klaus
Welcome on the forum. The standard language we use is English. Would you please translate your question for us? Most of our members cannot understand German.

No worries, he's asking about the stainless bow on the steering pedestal of his SO37 that is held with 2 screws and is too flimsy. He has made a wooden support as a replacement and if anyone is in need of it please send him a PM for further info.

I also have a SO37 and would like to improve the strength of the pedestal area. Can you send me your pictures of your design. Thanks

Mine is loose too.... had it down as a winter job to sort out as the bolts have siezed in the tubing and can not be tightened!!
So yes please I would love to see your solution!
Many thanks
Ian

Hi All, I've started the repair to sort out the loose grab handle which appears to be "standard fit" on 37's. The repair so far........... The problem: The grab handle just forward of the wheel is loose, but if you try and tighten the bolts up you WILL find they are siezed in the ally tubing. The solution: Shear off the 5mm allen key bolts by just trying to undo them. Once off you will then have to take 3 inch brace tubes (see attached pic) to your local machine shop for them to drill a 6mm hole ALL THE WAY THROUGH. You will then have to buy 2 x m6 x 100mm STAINLESS bolts (I got mine from ebay, and I have two spare if anyone requires them). Once I get the parts back from the machine shop I will take more pics of it going back together and update this thread. Hope this helps Ian  |

Hi All, Just an update. I got the tubes back from the machine shop this morning. As you can see, they have now drilled a 6mm hole all the way through. As soon as the new bolts arrive I will take pics of it all back back together. Best Regards Ian  |

Klaus I gave up on the old pedestal. Ours was very insecure and the shifter lever was loose on the tubing. Our SO37 Chumu now has a new Edson pedestal and shifter that looks nice and there's lots of room for wiring and instrumentation. www.flickr.com/photos/spartrek/4943629238 |

Hi Ann and Dennis,
Looks like you done a great job with the new pedistal and wheel.
I also had a look at your worktop conversion! I'm very tempted to mine - what sort of job was it to do???
I also see you have leather seats / backs - is that also something you done, or is that standard?
Regards
Ian

I gave the bolts a GOOD helping of snap on never sieze grease prior to fitting.  |

The nut from inside the binnacle. All finished!!! Grab handle is now firmly fixed, and with the amount of grease I used it should be a few years before it all siezes and can't be tightened up anymore. I hope this helps Best Regards Ian  |
