E29 stanchions post wood block

[skylosier]

I have a 1978 E29 and for some reason the two stanchion posts by the entry points on both sides have wooden blocks under them, where as all the other ones have the fibreglass moulded directly to fit.

Does anyone know where to get a replacement for these blocks? One of mine has rotted out and is now causing a leak.

No such thing on my 71. Did someone install after-market gates that weren't quite the same height as the rest?

Welcome aboard the forum. Got a cell phone photo of the situation? They're easy to include.

As you dive into this, there may be some saturation of the deck caused by the leakage. Members can advise on fixing that.
