So I have some old bimini hardware that I really need to replace. I was looking at this site (per the suggestion on the forum) but not seeing what I think I need.
http://www.marinepartdepot.com/

Can someone help me here? Not sure I know what i need.

I found what I needed on amazon.

Look through the parts and you'll find what looks like the right connections to replace yours.

I see what looks like a jaw slide and an inner tube eye ends. They come plastic, chrome, SS. Just look around. Measure your tube diameter also to match up with parts.

A ton of suppliers.

That part that had the ball and arm is a hard piece to find.

I seen these. Look at Eye End Bracket and Inside Eye End 90 degree on this website. Your's looks to be an outside 90 degree. Maybe call them and send a picture of what you have.

I didn't even know what to call the end part with the bracket. Now that I know the name I did find this on ebay in SST.

Found a couple stainless parts that may work.

That style may be obsolete.
Here's the ball end 90

Yep, that looks like it would work.

I am thinking the Nylon parts may be obsolete. They don't hold up long term as much as they are used.

Best regards,
Doug

Found it here also

http://www.ddthreadsplus.com/quick-rele ... ye-end-set

They require $25 minimum order so with shipping we are at $35.

Ebay link is about twice the price.

I just picked up some nylon eye ends from iboats for a 2008 H190. They should be here any day.

Marinepartdepot is my go-to for stainless. I too had those horrible plastic end pieces for connecting the bimini to the side windshield. I replaced with a ball in socket style and it is so much better. See this for before after pics http://www.smwebhead.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12966&start=75

one of my local marine supply dealers (Sun Country Marine) had those exact parts in stock. I replaced the window frame clips last summer. Sea Dog brand nylon components.
