Pad eyes for a bimini top. Where?

[RidgeRunner]

I have some chrome plated zamak pad eyes on one of my boats. Therefore I have some pad eyes that need replacing. Problem is I cannot find the correct size in any material let alone stainless. I need to replace all four and the holes in the boat are 1 1/8" center to center. I have spent the past two hours searching the net and nothing. I prefer stainless but I would settle for exact replacements at this point. Anybody got a clue as to where to look?

Naturally different names per mfr. Eye pads, eye straps, God knows what else.
See if you have looked here. Some are real close.



link didn't work.....

Yes, that is the gem. I have tried them. The closest to what I have in size does not line up with the holes in the boat. Mine are 1 1/8" C2C
It appears that the top shop got a deal on some off size stuff.
I tried Suncor, Bosun's Supply (always great with the specifics), Wholesale Marine and about 20 others to no avail. I will try the top shop next. I did find some that were 1 1/16" but can't remember where??

Not sure what part you mean by PAD EYES? I have had great success with west maring for parts. bring the old one and match it up.....

Yeah, that's what I took it to mean, mine cost about 4 bucks a set for stainless, fit in the same screw holes. Even bought two extra sets, I have them all over the boat.

Thanks all. Those links are great MJ. I was hoping to find the cast variety but the stamped will have to do. You guys are the best for all things boat related.
