[rickcrys]

We have a 1957 Larson Runabout that has been newly restore and looking to replace one of the cleats that has broken. Wheres a good site to find vintage boat cleats? Thanks!

I have some from my 1965 Larson I'm renovating and won't be reusing. Maybe post a picture of yours so we can see what your looking for. Otherwise, don't think your going to get much of a response. BTW, same cleats may have even been used on another manufacturer's boats, but without seeing them, who knows.

What are they made of? Are they custom, or something 'off the shelf'?

If they are custom- Perhaps they can be made... Casting aluminum parts isn't THAT tough, Using a sand mold, if you have access to the equipment.

Nope, nothing like those. Probably going to have to cast one yourself to get one like that. Pretty cool looking. Look for a post by Mark42 for casting parts.

Sorry,
