Update on this mod.
Have had issues with fittings on the Sterns.
Looks like there are so many variants in the apron area.
So not going to be a "One item fit all"

I think I now have the LE/Prem Stern Spike and Spike 2 covered.

A new locking system designed and being tested by collegues on various machines.
