Scimitar t-top hinges
« on: May 09, 2019, 12:49:40 AM »
Hi all. Does anyone have a source for the cast hinges between the center Scimitar roof panel and the t top? We had a t top blow off and broke one two hinges in the process. Thanks and cheers!! Mark.

That is not going to be a easy part to find …
Can you post a picture of one ?

Have you tried ?  He might be able to make them.

Hi all and apologies for the delay in coming back to the forum. Thanks TMoore for your reply and, no, I have not sourced the hinges as yet. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I have a further question for the forum. Can anyone assist with templates for the front bucket seats in the Scimitar. I do not think the seats are unique to the Scimitar and I have a vague recollection of a photo of front seats somewhere on the forum several years ago when I bought my boat from Ole Red. I am restoring the interior and the front buckets are not original. ( Red was good enough to provide an interior after we did the deal minus the seats ). Incidentally, has anyone seen Red or heard from him? thanks and cheers. Mark

If your seats look like this .. See pictures.
Maybe this is same style with head rests / high backs ?
