Re: hy-lyte/lyok hardware

You want to replace old hardware fasteners ? They were SS right ?

I dont see the reason ( you might be able to say why ) for such high tech "nuts and bolts".

I hear that NASA has a special on there leftovers from the shuttle program.. ;) Im kidding .. really kiddin here..

Seriously..Im kidding :)

Why not replace with the SS ?

Re: hy-lyte/lyok hardware

Actually, the previous owner had fabricated an alum bow cover for a sort of dry cuddy area using steel screws(replace with flush). Rod holder's were installed w/steel hardware also along with a cooler/tackle/baitboard tray by drilling out rivet's and using steel n/b. Now you see why. No SS. The flush fasteners will prevent rope damage and especially body scrapes. Also it can easily be removable. As far as the cost of fitting's -Ask me no question's and i'll tell you no lie's- leave it at that.
