One of the first things I did on my 1974 Montauk was to change the T fitting that were in bad shape. Fortunately the boat came with brand new T fittings in a bag that I believe were original equipment replacements.

I could find no way to install a new T on the rear side rails without cutting the rail. I believe that BW slid the T on before they bent the rail. The new T would not navigate the bend. I am sure this cutting weakens the rail to some degree but there is no way around it if the center Ts are shot. I don't honestly remember but I believe the forward rails were already pieced together at the Ts.

In searching for parts I did find a 2 piece T somewhere that screws together and would alleviate the need for cutting the rail if you can get the old T off.
