Gibb 'Rounded' T-Ball Backing Plate Tangs |
|
|
Internally mounted Backing Plate Tangs for use only with Gibb & Norseman 'Rounded' T-Ball Shroud
fittings. Backing Plate is easy to install, requiring only a round hole (not a slot) in the Mast.
Backing Plates are designed to fit through mounting hole and are then riveted from the outside.
Used for Larger shrouds (7/32", 6mm and up), these fittings are stronger and provide greater articulation
than the standard T-Ball.
