Tabernacle problem

Postby SMHolmans on Sat Aug 12, 2023 2:45 pm

Hi all.
I have just test fitted the mast in the tabernacle and lo and behold, the rear face of the tabernacle is too tall. The mast will not fold down far enough to sit on the boom gallows.
The tabernacle is exactly as the build instructions say it should be, with the rear face complying exactly with the pattern.
No big deal to remove a piece to allow the mast to fold down fully, but once again the pattern is incorrect.
Has anybody else encountered this problem?
Stephen, in a wet and cold UK summer.

I had to build a new tabernacle and got a 05/2019 pdf drawing from CLC . Worked perfect for me. I would post it here but The forum will not let me upload a pdf so you might want to get one from CLC to check against what you have already. If this is the same as your pattern I would double check to be sure all the pivot holes are correctly located in both tabernacle and on mast. Incorrectly located holes could cause the problem.
