Hi All,

I picked up a 1993 Sunbird Corsair 170 and looking for some parts. I know they closed up in the late 90's, however the parts I am looking for should not be exclusive to Sunbird.

1. Glass for the windshield. I used to own a Sea Ray and the windshield was Taylor, I don't see any markings on this one however. I need the side glass section. If I don't find this easy, or reasonable I am goind to have a piece of plexi made up.

2. Convertable top mounting brackets. Again, I doubt this is Sunbird exclusive, this is where the 4 poles of the top mount to the windshield. The snaps are there, however the brackets where you cotter pin the poles to the boat are not. The guy I purchased the boat from never put the top on, it was put in the garage when the purchased it new and not moved till I picked up the boat.

Thanks for any help you can provide on this.

Best,

MS

plex or lexan is your best bet on the windshield. are you talking about thumb turns for the top.

Thanks for the recomendation....

Lexan, how is this different than Plexi, does it resist fogging better?

On the other point, thumb turns, I think were on the same page. The top is a convertable, not a bimini, however I think they would mount the same way. There are 4 poles, 2 on each side. The poles have an end cap with a hole in them, I guess what I need is 4 brackets that recieve the end cap and you push a pin through locking them in. From the looks of it, the front two mount on the windshild and I guess the back two mount on the boat.
