Zodiac 470. Defender keel?

Hi!

My Zodiac 470 project is slowly going forward. The valves are now air thight, and the engine is on its way.

However the missing keel is still a problem. Used keel are close to impossible to find. So l'm concidering a Defender keel. The keel can't be longer than 357 cm. And from the center of the valve to the end can't be longer than 62 cm.

The Defender keel is 345,5 cm long and 56,5 cm from valve to end.

http://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1|294|2345895|2345896&id=1959922

Will it fitt? Or will I mess up the performance of the 470?

It's only $ 115, but maybe a bargain...?

Thanks

Brage

The F470 keel from cgoing arrived in Norway today. Perfect! No problem with shipping to my US adress, and from US to Norway.

Thanks to cgoing!

If anyone has a F470 alu floor to offer I`ve be happy to make a deal. The floor must be aprox; Width: 40.25" (lip to lip), Length (assembled): 101". (Thats aprox: Width 102 cm, length 257 cm).

Thanks!

Gooday mate! Shipping form Australia is no problem, but I need the stringers aswell. The floor will add no rigideness without the stringers.

I will try to find a complete floor, but if I don`t I will contact you later.

Many thanks for your offer!

Thanks Don!


Last update is that the FC 470 Alu floor with stringer is on it`s way from Sydney, Australia to Oslo, Norway. It`s sea fright so it wil take at least 6 weeks, but I`m happy finally getting my hands on a good floor!


Cheers!
