We went to dry run riggin up our H16 today and the hinge at the step is broken where the bottom pin goes in, is there anything we can rig to step the mast w/o the pin? Has anyone done this? thanks fro the help

They do sell replacement hinges.. but i think you mean your mast or base is broken.

Either way you will need to repair this... with either a new mast base or a new base plate (on the beam)

Even if you can rig a way to step the mast.. this is not good because you will have problems bringing the mast down (safely).
