I have two Mako board racks and I need one of these for each. Any suggestions? Upload

Realistically your best bet is to have replacements fabricated at a machine shop. Unless you're able to find someone that has spare racks lying around to canabalize parts from (I don't have any), it's going to be tough to find a replacement.

I'd be curious to know where that piece came from too. Monster's racks are extremely similar to Mako's and their customer service killz. You might want to check with them.

That looks like the mounting stud that goes on the tower. I have a set that came with my boat (2002 Launch SS). Send me a P.M. if you want them and we can work out a deal.

You may want to check out Ace Hardware. They have some round stock and plate stock Aluminum and if make a mount out of these parts for rather low cost. Buy the proper diameter then cut the cylinder to the proper length, then drill and tap 2 or 3 holes in one end. At that point you can bolt a piece of plate stock to the cylinder, countersink drill the holes to both mount the plate to the cylinder and to mount the plate to the boat ( that mount fit the flat side of the Supra oval towers.). If you are mounting the rack to a round bar - you would have to get more inventive. Maybe buy a monster tower clamp, take out their stainless insert and put another piece in that is round instead of the 4 sided it ships with.}

Vince-
You're right, it's the stud that bolts to the tower. I sent you a p.m.

Jason-
I do have acces to a laith and I have the aluminum stock. It was my next step if I couldn't find the parts.

Thanks for the input
