Hey Peyton,
I would like to get my hands on your grab bar. Lots of folk look for those, and I'd like to have a "master" to have pieces cast from (I'm not willing to take apart Bandit) If John doesn't have a matching support piece for you, I can recommend Creative Castings in Tacoma, WA who can take your piece, and make a sand cast mold from it and cast you another. Not expensive and fast turnaround. I had my aft splash well trim (your first photo) cast from a loaner set. The resulting castings needed filing, sanding and polishing, but came out good.

Sure Dean I would be glad to send it to you just give me an address and I will ship it to you. I sure could use the center part that would complete my parts list.

I have several of the aluminum tubes and the support end pieces but no centerpiece. Sorry about that! Hopefully the company Dean gave you can help you out Sir. |

Dean ----------- Dean: Hey buddy, do you want me to send you one of the aluminum grab rail tubes with the end supports? Let me know Dean as my good friend Mike got several of the "grab handles" from the old Seafair Sedans he took apart. Unfortunately I don't have any of the center support pieces like Peyton is looking for but at least you would have the main parts of the handle. |

Dean I have the end pieces and one tube you are welcome to them if you like. I will check with the company you where talking about to have one made. I think I have there address from one of your post that I read some time time ago. If I can't find it I will get it from you later. Let me know if you need the parts. Thanks

Thanks guys.
Peyton,
Creative Castings are local to me. If you wanted to have your grab-handle support duplicated... You could send it over, plus the extra grab handle parts. I can get the whole package to them for reproduction and send you back your original & the newly cast support piece. I would just pay for the whole job in exchange for the spare pieces. In that way, you get what you need and I can have a complete set of duplicates. You can trust that I will get it done promptly.
Dean

Sure Dean sounds like a good deal for both of us. I sure appreciate it I have been trying to get this part for over a year. Just sent me your address or email it to me. My email is daleandalice22@gmail.com. Thanks again

Hi Peyton,
Sounds good, I will email you.
And John, thanks for your generous offer too! Taking Payton up on his offer gives me an opportunity to create all the cast pieces (including the center support) needed for grab handle stock. I figure that I will create two sets to put them on my G3 shelf for the next guy that needs the handles.
I wonder why the boats always are missing these?
Dean
