Hi Guys,
Does anyone have a picture of the replacement for the ring and finger. I'd swear I've seen a picture of the "microphone" top on the site before, but I'm having trouble with the search feature. I keep getting error messages. I got my ring and finger out and need to have a new top made. Thanks! ------------- Brian |

How much would you pay for a new one???
The reason I am asking is I have contacted a casting company that would build a limited number of them but the price is not cheap! Over $300 each to the end user! ------------- Hobby Boats can be expensive when the hobbyist is limited on their own skill and expertise. 1993 Shamrock "fat" 20. 2008 Nautique 196 5.0 |

This is Brad's '86 with the microphone from N3Boatworks (formerly available from MWCC). I want to say the price was around $125.

Thanks for the quick response! I talked to Bruce at N3 last summer before I got my ring and finger out. He said the microphone top wasn't in stock, and he would have to have one made for me at a cost of around $150. I found a local machine shop that will fabricate one if I bring him a picture and some measurements. Looks like I can take him the information tomorrow. Thanks again! ------------- Brian |

Right you are Tim. Bruce at N3 hooked me up with the pictured microphone topper for around 125.

Jody,
Are you talking about getting replacement ring and fingers cast? I would think you'd get some interest on those as they seem to be hard to find. I was able to get mine off in one piece. I'll hang on to mine so I can go back to original some day. ------------- Brian |

Yes I am talking about the ring and finger cast and chrome plated just like the originals. Their would be a minimum run of maybe 50-75 units. Personaly I know of three boats that could utilize the replacement because some dumb kid hacked of the ring and finger to stick their dork pipe on the pylon.  ------------- Hobby Boats can be expensive when the hobbyist is limited on their own skill and expertise. 1993 Shamrock "fat" 20. 2008 Nautique 196 5.0 |

Yea, Same kid attacked my 74. Came with a Fly Stick or Joy Rod, I made the salesman take it off,cause I was too embarrased to let the wife and two kids drive it home like that.
And if that wasn't bad enough, the same genius drilled a 1/2 inch hole half way up on the pylon. AT |

Well stated!  Guessing impatience and ignorance, not asking or listening to the CCfan group plus not knowing about Kroil. "dork pipe"  ------------- /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 < |

That same kid cut my Ring and Finger also. However, I got a great replacement off of this site from a used boat.
