got them in from west marine today, i ended up taking the 16 " al bars from the orignal supports and putting the new ends in them. looks ok, but the older oned were a lot more support and much better made than the taylor replacements i got. if you guys have the orignals and they are in good shape, take them apart and clean then and take good care of them.
i think if i had to do it again, i would do what nymack suggested, mo better & cheaper......
