Post by ahovey » Tue Jul 07, 2020 12:34 pm

Hi,

I am looking to buy a set of of eyelets that connect the support rod to the windshield and the lower support rod to body bracket for an ‘11 Torpedo. I understand the eyelets are likely already attached to the rods, but I am willing to also buy the the complete set.

Please reach out me at 201 306 7112 or ahovey@gmail.com

I was able to to buy the support rod to body brackets, just looking for the eyelets for the top of the rod to windshield. Similar to this picture. Dimensions or drawings would also be greatly appreciate.

Thank you,
Austin

If you don't find any of the eyelets I could have some made off of the originals on my Torpedo.

I believe these might be for the Torpedo - I didn't measure the eye bolt hole but the shank o.d. is .5005. Drop me a note through if interested.

'11 Torpedo eyelets are asymmetric -- flush on the side of the tube that mounts to the hinge and relieved 3/16" on the outside where you thread on the nut.

Thanks for assisting in identifying them for me, Walter - the shop that they came out of also had a '10 Runabout.

Thank you for your offers and insights.

Fortunately, I was able to get accurate dimensions and I will build a set from that.

Thanks all!
