Backing plates

Another long job was to first understand what type of backing plates I should put and then make them.

At first I thought I would repeat the fiberglass cover without the backing plates like the old thoughulls were.

But after long hours and nights wondering and asking the web I have decided to make round backing plates made of marine plywood soaked in epoxy resin so this work should last for many years to come.
