Brass railing "gates"

[rebuckley]

I did see an older thread with a suggestion for looking on eBay, or Marine Consignment. But with the newer members - I figured I woudl pose this again. Has anyone found a location to get replacements for the gate hardware on the handrails? The locking pin on one of my gates has failed, and I was wondering if we are able to buy new ones? I will be removing it and see if it can be repaired, but was not sure if there were other options?

Reb, I found several of the bronze gate caps at the Annapolis boat show at the "flea market" across the river from the show proper. I used them on my sons boat a couple of years ago. There are several sizes so make sure to post the measurements on here to see if anyone has a spare. Ben

There is a casting foundry in mystic that can probably make new ones using yours as a pattern.
