Can anyone help me to locate one (or two) chrome on brass/gunmetal double bollard cleats? By this I mean the ones which have a rectangular base and two vertical posts with a sort of button type head rather than being the same diameter all the way up. I have an early 60's era wooden boat which has three of these on each side covering board and I need to add one more on each side to match the existing ones . I already have one old one which I can get rechromed so I really only need one more. The problem is that the existing ones are 5 inches long and 2 inches high and Daveys now only supply this particular type of double bollard cleat pattern in 4, 6, and 8 inch lengths and cannot supply the 5 inch ones any more. Perhaps somebody has a 5 inch one (!) one knocking around or can suggest somewhere. Doesn't matter if it's not chromed as long as it is brass or gunmetal. Thanks for any help offered.
 
Try Foulkes Chandlery Barge at Bursledon, Hants. It's a sort of floating[?] yacht scrapyard on the Hamble. They have all sorts of old chandlery there.
 
Try Classic Marine at Woodbridge. If they have not got any they can make some up for you. They made me an odd gudgeon the other day and did a splendid job.
 
chandlery barge at swanwick is worth a try for sure.

I think you should look through the catalogues of Simpson Lawrence, they made all the deck fittings on mine in the 60's, I think they are still going.
 
Going off-thread so sorry but would the Foulkes you mention bear any relationship to the wonderful Thomas Foulkes (everything for boats) who had an emporium up in Leytonstone, London in the 70's/80's? They seem to have gone now I've returned to the water which is a real shame as they really did have "everything".

By the way, I think you'll find the "cleat" mentioned is called a "staghorn bollard" (just to be on thread).
