I need advice on how to fit new bridle plates to the hull of my dart - the existing screws just go round without coming out and will have to be ground off. Do I need to cut a hole in the hulls or are there some kind of expanding bolts available?

This is a well discussed topic on the Dart 18 discussion pages. Try http://www.dart18.com - www.dart18.com and do a search on their forum. Many people have this problem especially when the nuts on the inside drop when the bolts are removed!

If your question isn't answered there, I would suggest calling Paul at Fluid Boat Services. He's got more than enough experience with this to assist.
