My rails were shot, and leaked in several places.
I copied Vic's set up and am very happy with how it turned out. It's a very simple and effective set up. Only thing I 'improved' upon from his set up (because I was too twitchy to drill too many new holes) was that I (re)used the two original outer most holes to mount the ends of the handrails. So I have 7 holes. I do hope never to do this again or ever see a leak again, so I tried to do it well by drilling out larger, filling with epoxy and then drilling the smaller diameter bolt holes.
