As the name implies 'housing' is apt in that the hefty aluminium item at the top of the first picture accommodates the keel shown in earlier posts. The space between it and the lower two plates is for the bottom of the boat, drilled and cut out to accommodate the two posts on the keel as seen in the second of the pictures.
This will now form the sandwich, brought together with stainless steel bolts and button head machine screws, with of course a healthy layer of marnine grade Sikoflex between each plate.
Interestingly the makers of this mastic recommend firm initial tightening followed by a final tightening after 24hrs.
