Have you searched e-bay yet??
Under "vintage Atwood" there is one that looks as though it would clean up very well. Also new ones that are similar but not exact. I looked under "stern light base" in boat parts and found it |

Keep it as original as YOU want it

Susan,
The base wiring can be replaced. The receptacle is removed from the base and then you will have access to the wire termination. |

In search of an "original" stern light base (i have the pole). The wiring is shot in ours and It appears to be difficult to repair.

Courtesy's prices come down per piece considerably if you send them more than a few pieces, so have everything done at once, although on a Tique, that still isn't very much.

Courtesy Metal Polishing in Villa Park Illinois. They have a web site, I’m on my phone and am challenged to post links from it. I have never had them do anything for under 80 though buts that’s way way less than anyone else. Turn around time has been as less as 2 weeks depending how busy. One guy I used to send parts to had my correct craft side scripts for 4 months and charged me a bundle.

Please, tell me more! I may want to go ahead and get it done now!! I would love a recommendation. I have the parts with me in North Carolina so I can ship them off anywhere - I just want to get an estimate first. thanks Gary |

Get back to us if you decide to rechrome,many chrome platers out there,few are reasonable and relatively quick.

The ones that Christines sells are not the same. The originals are MUCH better. I'll try the other options. If not, i'll probably get them rechromed if they are brass. The options on the market don't compare.

I think Christines sells those (possibly white lake and n3 also). Yes, they are chrome plated brass- you could have them rechromed but that is usually more costly than replacing .

Any suggestions on how to make the Motor Box Brackets look'in pretty again? They are past the point of a good polish and they are not replaceable unless someone out there has a good set of the originals I can buy. On that note, anyone know what metal these are? I "thought" they were cast aluminum but they almost look like plated brass!

Susan,
I too was missing vent window parts on my 77. I looked and never found a source so, I ended up fabricating them myself. Maybe you have a friend who's got some metal working talent? The thumb screws I bought from McMaster. They were the plastic knobs with SS threaded studs in them. Rubber washers and rubber grommets are hardware store items. |

The horn you pulled off was exactly the same one I had on my 77' Tique. Looks to be original option to me... |

First: just saw your old post/question. Our horn worked and we just put it back on. No changes except we did replace the threaded studs that were very rusty.
Second: I haven’t studied that part much bc ours are intact but it looks like a piece that could be made fairly easily. I assume the holes from the rivets are already in the windshield. Could bend some metal, drill and tap some holes and attach to windshield with short screws. Or maybe someone has some. |

OK, I've exhausted all options so I'm reaching out to you all to see if anyone has what i need to complete the vented window mechanisms. I have the gliders and the screws for the windshield, but i don't have the brackets that attach to the FRAME that hold the gliders in place with the moon shaped quadrants? I hope I'm explaining this correctly.
I'll take them in any condition. |

I agree...and definitely not like MY Tique!! Ha. Yes, I agree that the little boat needs a little horn. Don't get me wrong, the trumpet horn looks good but it doesn't seem authentic since it's so different than the original horn we had. David, I see you have the same horn - did you find a new replacement or clean the original up? |

Check out pics on our thread. New to me 78 tique. Def a pic of our horn which was original. If it hadn’t been there I would have done horns. The little one we have is funny though. Kind of like comparing a horn on an American car and a euro car.

I am not sure I’ve seen a 78 with trumpets. I like that little original- just looks right.

Susan,
The horns were an option and in most cases were dealer installed if it didn't come from the factory with one or one of the distribution centers with one. The buyer pretty much determined what type. My 77 has trumpets. |

Too funny! Ok, I get that you guys vote for the trumpets but it wasn't original to our boat so I'm guessing it's not original to the year (1978 Ski Tique). Anyone else have images of their original and/or replacement horn for the same boat? We're trying to get all the gauges and toggle switches all connected and the options seem limited.

Susan, I found a picture of Tim scavenging for his next set of trumpets. He's on the quest for LOUD!!! |

We had air trumpets on our 66 Mustang, yes, very cool. My brother still has the set, even tho that boat is long gone. My dad also put on that deck mount speedometer, which I also thought was pretty cool. Liked it so much, I got one for my first boat, my Taylor jet, back in the early 80s. I dont think you can find them any more. I've looked. I do have one old one I salvaged. Case is kind of pitted, but I bet I could get it rechromed, and the guts seem shot, but I bet I could find other guts too. |
