I got some second-hand information the other day regarding
potential problems with Morgan's method of attaching headstay
chainplates to the 38X. The "potential" problem is the
possibility of electrolysis between stainless bolts and the heavy
aluminum plate glassed into the stem, into which the bolts are
tapped. These are the stainless bolts which secures the headstay
chainplate to the stem. I've removed one of the bolts, but it's
hard to see what's going on down inside the fiberglass at the
stem. The one bolt I pulled was very well sealed with some kind
of marine goop, which should eliminate electrolysis.
I've never before heard of any issues with this area, thus it's
probably a non-issue, but wonder if anyone else could shed a
little light on the question.
