[QUOTE="AlexB, post: 415057, member: 21169"] Thanks for the advice. Are 6061 T6 and 5052 alloys dissimilar enough to cause a problem? Or was there another reason for your suggestion? I have already bought the 6061 T6, but if the 5052 is truly a better choice I'm sure I can find a use for the stuff I ordered. I'm still hesitant to try bending or cutting the cap. I'm confident I can make a clean repair using straight cuts and bolts, but I'm not sure I'd be happy with the results of going at my boat with a rubber mallet. Lock Stock - You mentioned the option of fabricating a new cap. How might I do this? I just have basic hand tools and I don't have much experience working with aluminum. [/QUOTE]
