Hi Viktor, my name is Ron Hollander. I have a1978 Citation 34. I am in the process of replace my starboard Bulkhead. My starboard chain plate broke free of the bulkhead due to rotten wood and my mast came down. Would you have more pictures of the replacement of your starboard bulkhead. My email address is ronaldhollander1969@gmail.com. Thanks
