I got the same ones when i needed them for my boat at the time. They were just fine, but i could not get the perfect size and had to make new holes for them on the dash.

It will be very hard to find the correct length,
I made my own using Bimini SS ends and cut to length SS pipes off a spare bow rail. Looks great and works like the original ..

I had to do the same thing when I replaced mine. I couldn't find any that were a perfect match. I think I ended up buying some at West Marine.

Those are the ones I used I believe, I had to mount them a little closer to the windshield, but they still offer plenty of support.

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......
