Source for 1980\'s Stanchion Bases?
The stanchion bases on my 1985 Jouet760 are in need of replacing and I am hunting for replacements.
The bases are of a cast alloy type, sited on the toe rail. The base is square, and overlaps the edge of the toe rail, stepped to ensure good contact with both the deck and the toe rail. Hole centres look to be imperial at 2 1/2" on the outer edge, and 2 1/4 for the deck holes, and the stanchion itself 1".
It seems unlikely that Yachting France had these specially made; I am sure I have seen the same on similarly aged vessels. My ideal would be to find exact replacements for these but I have as yet been unable to find anything even remotely similar. Does anyone have any ideas ?
