rod lockers?

sweetseason · #1 06-06-2006, 03:39 AM

I am in the midle of fixing up a 1979 steplift and I am having trouble locating replacement rod lockers. The ones that I removed from the boat are cracked and flimsy. They even have some peices of plastic missing. They are quite long (69") and a trapazoid shape. If anyone has any advice I would apprieciate it. oh and hey, how do you post pictures on this message are?

Check with SSI in Maryland. I bought a set for a prior V20 and I had to cut about an inch on my liner, but they worked great. High quality stuff too.
