Thanks Vic!- Im not gonna try to snake it from somebody if they were first! But hey my console is 28" wide where this would mount. Looks like my original handrail had 3 mounts per side so it was a little different, but I think yours will work. My zipcode is 23072, do you have PayPal? Mike

I will measure it from flange to flange and get back to you. I am on my way to Lowe's to P/U a couple new measuring tapes. We had two die on us this week. Yes on the Paypal.

Well, I don't know if it will work. It measures:

29" Flange to Flange For the Forward Mounts (Closest to the wall in pic.)

29 5/16" Flange to Flange For the Rear Mounts.

I could see you tweaking it for 1/8" fit but not 1". Where were you measuring? I think the console tapers from bottom to top. Otherwise, factory could have changed up the console from 1978 to 1983. It is not bent much, if any, put a square on it and it is not out of square by much.

I was measuring from the top. Maybe I could cut 1/2" spacers from starboard for front and bigger ones for the rear if i needed to. My console does have about a 1/2" lip a little lower. I wish I could find a close up pic of how this mounts. I ll do a little search.....

Ok Vic I think it will work, maybe with some mods, but I like it better than the original one mine came with(missing). Just let me know how much to ship up here....23072(zip) THANKS, Mike

OK, First thing Monday a.m. I will look into shipping.
Thanks
