(link) (George E. Norkus, Santana 2023A Tall, SE Michigan) George, Sorry for the slow reply -it's a crazy summer. The compression post that I'm trying to explain will fit inside the mast, just like the compression posts for the lower and upper shrouds (My setup did not have the lower shrouds connected to the spreader bar). As of now, the compression post is a 1" diameter piece of aluminum tube, that is snugly placed between the two spreader brackets. I hope this makes more sense. Thanks for everyone's input, Blake
