Had one of the caphead screw shear off on the mount holding the rear tube to the gunnel. Any one know how you can access the mount to get a new screw on place or is it already threaded into a backing plate. I may want to replace them with a through bolt like some of the other tower designs. I can't get my hand in between the seat and the gunnel.

Thanks TK: confused:

Here is the link to my post. I had a similiar incident not long ago. I wonder how many other towers this has happened to? For mine, I got a replacement bolt at home depot, have to look in the specialty bolt area. The tower is pre-threaded for the bolt to screw into. I thought about through bolting, but you would have a part sticking out.
