   Ralph,
Original/vintage for CC may be hard to find just because back then CC was very inconsistent on what they used. Times were tough and they had a tendency to use whatever they could get. The chocks would have been a less expensive chrome plated zinc die casting rather than chromed brass. 

Are yours missing? Maybe they were never on the boat? Holes in the deck?

	Pete, That is my bow "rope chock", however, I will need the stern. Checking out e-bay now, thanks for the help. I hope to find them but if not I may still need an original/vintage.

	Try this: Pero rope chock on ebay Note the angled/slanted chocks are typically meant for the bow deck since it's angled.

	Regarding posting pictures, it's almost impossible from a mobile device. The best is off a PC. Go to "post reply" or click on the "full reply editor" (the arrow icon above the message box) then click on the icon of the tree with the up arrow. A browse box will come up allowing you to select anything off your computer.

	Pete, Thank you for the quick reply. My towline guide (my nomenclature) is in great shape despite every passenger thinking it is a structural handle. I have a chrome plated aluminum/white metal casting on each corner of the stern that I use to run a dock line from the stern lift ring/cleat to stern corner to the dock cleat. I can make out the name "PERKO" on the side. The picture you supplied does not have the part I am trying to describe. I am struggling trying to get a picture uploaded, any tip would be appreciated.

	Ralph, Here's a picture of what I consider a rope guard. It's the V shaped 1/2 round screwed to the aft deck.

	Ralph, I'm a little confused as to what you are looking for. The rope guard typical in the early 70's would have been a bent piece of 1/2 round and not machined. The confusion also comes from you needing two. Do you have two boats? Explain some more.

	Hello, long time follower but fist time posting. I need two stern rope chocks for my 72 Mustang. Original would be my preference or has anybody machined a copy? Thank you all in advance **FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSES PICTURE ADDED AFTER INITIAL POST**
