Howard and Connie, Thanks for sharing the ideas. I'm now thinking of getting a thin piece of SS long enough and wide enough to use as a small backing plate for the lid. I'll use piece just thick enough to be able to tap. I'll use some epoxy and between the epoxy and the threaded backing plate I think I'll have enough strength to secure the hasp and be able to clear the lip. Again, thanks.

Now that's a wonderful way to explain something and to show the details of how you did it.
Masterful!

I thought I had the solution for securing the lockers on my M17. However, what I find is that there is very little clearance to secure any hardware on the lid. Any suggestions and/or suppliers. Thanks folks, Joe Seafrog M17 #651

Hi Joe,
When I installed the hasp on our M15 sail lockers, I think I had just enough space to get the nuts on the inside flange of the sail locker lid. I installed them and added some Locktite to the threads so that they wouldn't loosen.
The other part of the assembly was inside the sail locker itself, so there was no clearance problem.

Another consideration:
I don't know how thick the sail locker lid flange is, but if there isn't enough space on the inside for the nuts, then is the flange where you are mounting the hardware thick enough so that you could tap the hole and put threads into the fiberglass itself?
