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. http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=bimini+top+hardware&tag=mh0b-20&index=aps&hvadid=166339980&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_1beamykft6_e A ton of suppliers. http://www.wholesalemarine.com/browse/Hardware-Tools/Bimini-Top-Hardware/_/N-wq 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. http://www.ddthreadsplus.com/boat-top-hardware/bimini-top-hardware-bimini-top-frame-kits Doug |

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. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Boat-Top-Bimini ... 0416779933 |

Found a couple stainless parts that may work. That style may be obsolete. Here's the ball end 90 http://www.ddthreadsplus.com/boat-top-hardware/bimini-top-hardware-bimini-top-frame-kits Here's the ball reciever http://greatlakesskipper.com/taco-marine-f13-0242-244bin-316-stainless-steel-boat-deck-cover-hinge-sockets-pair |

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. |

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. |
