Sealine s23

[hg2016]

Evening all,
I have a couple of 'lift the dot' studs missing from my windscreen track where it fixes my canopy to the screen on my Sealine s23. The studs are 24.3 mm long of which 10mm is a M4 thread. Does anybody know where I might get some from ? I have tried seabridge and britboats, both no good. (In the meantime I have ordered some from ebay with a M5 thread). Secondly, the receptacle that runs in the track is broken, does anybody have any experience in replacing these as well.

Regards HG

Have you tried a cover maker. I lost a couple of studs and my local guy ( in Spain) just went to his box of bits and gave me some.

I haven't tried a cover maker yet. I guess that's the next step. There is one that advertises at my local marina.
