Try and save your old pieces and use them as scribes. It is a 45 degree cut but, it is a "compound miter". The bottom half of the plastic receiver is angled towards the boat. I cut and fit the mitered ends before the install leaving the long ends (from the stern to the bow) a little long. Doing the install of the insert is like working with coiled concrete (a description from another member that I agree with). Start at the miter joint and work the starboard and port sides towards the bow. Leave the last couple of feet unattached and fit /cut in place to complete the install. Make sure you leave them long....I thought I overkilled the extra length but only had 4" extra on one of the pieces.

I have 50' of new black rubber insert and my old black rubber insert from my 1979 22' Revenge. You can have the old one free with shipping or the new one for $65 plus shipping. I scored a length of the red and never installed the black one.
