Mast Base- A Mast Base will need to be made by cutting a slot into a Bantock Mast Head Fitting
2mm deep and 1.5mm wide to suit the 1.5mm diameter rod of the mast step. Suggest to use a
needle file or similar. This then needs to be glued into the mast “dead square” to the prebend. To
find “dead square”, balance the mast horizontally resting on the masthead and mast base
between a couple of wooden blocks or similar. Let gravity work for you to help find the Mast Base
orientation. Align the mast base slot horizontally.
Gooseneck- The mast gate of the V11 is 11mm wide to provide a neat fit against the mast. A
Bantock gooseneck is wider than this and will need to be dealt to with a file in the required area to
sit inside of the mast gate when in position. File this rebate before attaching it to the mast. See
Picture. You can make the raw aluminium black again with cunning use of a vivid marker.
