In search for these parts: 1. Back aluminum rod/tube grab bar. We have the connectors but the pole is bent. May be easy to have a new aluminum pole made but asking first. 2. The hood scoop (only need the hood) – on the 78, this was a molded fiberglass add-on that we can cover with the new upholstery. I’d love to have crome scoops made but that wouldn’t be “authentic”! 3. Horn – a better option than the original!    ------------- My '78 Ski Tique Family Boat Purchased NEW in the summer of '78 Restoring it LIKE NEW for the summer of 2018! |

Susan, If no one has the aft tow rope guard, raw tubing to fit the deck brackets can be purchased and bent to fit. BTW, it's not a grab bar and it looks like that's what someone used it for or your Tique! Yes, the hood scoops are covered with the same vinyl as the upholstery. I suggest looking into that when the time come for upholstery. Horns were pretty much a dealer installed item. Many when with trumpet style electric or air operated. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Got it! regarding the scoop - Yes, we are actually working on the new skins now because we want to be sure that we confirm the graphics colors and choose the skins to match...so we're doing it all now so the hood scoop is priority. I agree with the trumpet style - i'm in search for one. ------------- My '78 Ski Tique Family Boat Purchased NEW in the summer of '78 Restoring it LIKE NEW for the summer of 2018! |

I don’t know why people insist on using the rope rail as a grab bar. That’s started a fight or two in my boat. Is the rail same for the Tique and Nautique?

Hmm..."Then layup another scoop off of the plug"... Can you clarify this? I'm not sure what you mean but I have the 2 smaller scoops for the back and I need a mold for the front, hood scoop. The one we had was built by using an old license plate and some wood when it was reupholstered in the 90's so i don't have anything to work off of. I'd rather get one that I know is the original size...I'll check to see if the Natique is the same. ------------- My '78 Ski Tique Family Boat Purchased NEW in the summer of '78 Restoring it LIKE NEW for the summer of 2018! |

Susan, Basically a "plug" is a mold made from a good or repaired piece. In this case, a female mold could be made from a scoop and then duplicate scoops made using the new mold. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Susan, I think Tim B did make a mold for the scoops so hang on and see if he'll reply. If not, then there's a good chance that someone will have a large one for you. Besides someone using the rope guard for a grab bar, it sounds like someone at one time used your scoop for a step!! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Why not just get Scoot's scoop that he offered? It's available and I doubt he wants much for it and it'll fit and look better than an old license plate and wood especially when it's reupholstered. |

Hey all, I'd like to circle back around on the issue with the horn for my 78 SkiTique restoration. The picture at the beginning of this thread will show you what we had - UGLY! My husband is not a fan of the trumpet horns and i don't like the AFI mini's either. I don't even care about putting one back on but there are 2 holes on the top of the bow from the original installation. Any suggestions? ------------- My '78 Ski Tique Family Boat Purchased NEW in the summer of '78 Restoring it LIKE NEW for the summer of 2018! |

You could try one of the gel patch kits or just put a couple of SS decorative machine screws in the holes. BTW, a horn is a USCG requirement. If you don't want something permanent, one of these will meet the requirement:  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Susan, as much as you would like to get rid of the horn on the boat, I would suggest that you don't..... 1. For lots of Safety Reasons 2. It's a Coast Guard requirement to have the means to signal others. Whistle, Air (in a can) Horn, Boat Horn I really like the dual trumpets on my 72 Mustang. They are extremely loud and actually fun to use. Usually scares the crap out of people and other boaters.  Seriously though, I know you're husband isn't fond of them but trumpets do add some flash, style, and cool factor to the 70's boats IMHO.  ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

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.  ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

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?

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.

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?

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. ------------- 78 Ski Tique, 72 Skier w/302's, 93 SN w/351 & 17 GS22 w/zr409 Previous - 99 Sport Nautique w/GT40 and 87 Martinique w/351 |

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. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

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.

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. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Thanks Peter - I've been trying to figure it out. The base and the light pole are in great "condition", but both need some electrical work. I've located the replacement wiring for the light pole (Perko Double Contact Bayonet Socket ) and it's a pretty simple DIY. However, I was going to talk to my "electrician expert" about the base. You'll see that the wiring is shot but I would need to remove the receptacle from the base to replace the wiring right? ...but it's not as simple to pull it out of the base as it was for the pole because it appears to be welded in with a pin.

Susan, The black plastic receptacle is pressed into the metal base from the bottom. You can use a wood dowel small enough to fit between the two brass contact pins to press or tap it out of the metal base. Then you can replace the wires. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I wouldn't suggest this as the best method. It's going to be hard to clean the brass area down in the hole and then flux it to get a good solder connection on the wires. I'd also be concerned with the heat required damaging the black plastic. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Susan, I hope these help. Not the greatest pictures but they do show the concept.     The L bracket below the quadrant is fastened to the window frame and tapped 10-32 for the studded knob. The quadrant to fastened to the glass with 10-32 flat heads, finishing washers and rubber washers on both side of the glass. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Gary, Yes, it sure does need a cleaning. We've been through about 5 days of heavy rains and, strong winds downing trees. The chain is up 5 inches over normal and they've had the dam wide open. It's on the lift raised till the windshield almost touches but the weather still gets under the canopy. One day I had to bail the fishing boat twice to keep it from sinking! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

These images are HUGELY helpful Pete. The "vented" windows never worked on our boat and we are discovering now that the lower bracket that is screwed into the window frame never existed on our boat (like your image below)...only the hole exist. I guess the only solution is to have them made. Can you tell me if the bracket wraps down underneath the window frame (when the windshield was installed) or if it is just attached with the screws? It also looks like you have 2 screws per bracket to hold it in place - but our frame only has 1 hole for each bracket (4 total).   ------------- My '78 Ski Tique Family Boat Purchased NEW in the summer of '78 Restoring it LIKE NEW for the summer of 2018! |

Susan, The L bracket that's on the lower frame is attached with 2 screws on my 77 but that doesn't mean that in 78 CC decided that only 1 would work! It would be just another inconsistency to add to the CC list. Installing the L I feel you will need to pull the frame off the deck since it's a very tight spot. With the frame off the deck, it would be easy to drill an extra hole so, you may want to fasten the L on with two screws. No, the L bracket does not wrap around the bottom of the frame. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Good point about it being in a tight spot. The windshield is off right now - I had new glass installed and had the frame powder coated. side note - It looks awesome! This is why I'm trying to figure this out...before they put the windshield back in. I'll need to have an L bracket made to get it working.

Susan, You mention getting the L bracket only made so you do have the quadrants? The quadrants on mine were in pretty bad shape and I ended up fabricating two new ones. They are a pretty light gauge aluminum that bends very easily. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

We are closed down here again since Wednesday,was closed the week before Memorial day too. Had the boat out twice. If it's not raining I'm out cutting grass. At least I don't have to work in it anymore or shovel it  ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

yes David, that would be great. I need close up pictures of the L bracket attached to the windshield. I want to see if you have 1 hole/screw or 2 for each bracket. I also need some images to help get them recreated. thanks. ------------- My '78 Ski Tique Family Boat Purchased NEW in the summer of '78 Restoring it LIKE NEW for the summer of 2018! |

OK, I am officially making an ALL-CALL request. I need help. Our boat is almost complete and I can not move forward without the windshield brackets -- it's now holding everything back on getting my newly renovated 1978 Ski Tique in the water! PLEASE HELP... I need to have four (4) L brackets custom fabricated. It's going to cost a fortune but I have no other options. I need to find someone out in CCF land that has one (1) loose bracket and is willing to trust me with "borrowing" it in order to have it duplicated. I will pay for all shipping. I could also use any advice from anyone familiar with this process. Lastly, should I create a new post in order to reach as many people out there as possible? ------------- My '78 Ski Tique Family Boat Purchased NEW in the summer of '78 Restoring it LIKE NEW for the summer of 2018! |

Susan, I would suggest going to the HD or any hardware that carries https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-4-in-x-96-in-x-0-050-in-Aluminum-Thick-Angle-802527/204273951" rel="nofollow - aluminum angle . Cut 4 pieces the width of the quadrant, drill two holes (or three ) and tap the top hole 10-32 for the knob. No, it won't be exactly like the original but I won't say anything. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

At the very least they would still need a "dog leg" bent on them to clear the frame. I am way to busy in the shop to take the time to fab these up now. I looked at mine and decided that they would need to be formed in a die to be correct. 4 pcs. does not constitute the cost involved in making a die at this time. Tapping a 10-32 thread is not a option as you would only get 2 threads in the 1/16 angle Perhaps a nut would work better, but then some. pita ACBS judge would deduct points for non originality ------------- Keep it as original as YOU want it 1978 Mustang (modified) |

Duane, I have no idea why they made the bracket with the dog leg since it's not needed to clear anything. Susan, Since Duane has strong fingers that really torque down thumb screws, his concern regarding only two treads in the .050" angle has merit. So, you could go with a https://www.mcmaster.com/#8982k4/=1dlen5x" rel="nofollow - thicker angle. BTW Duane, the original bracket is .060 BUT, the tapped hole is extruded. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Thanks for all these suggestions...although I'm not convinced that these are doable options!! Ha!!  However, my aggressive search has paid off and I have found someone who is loaning me his bracket!!
