I just read that Rayco Manufacturing is doing castings. Maybe they could make one. We have decided to dip our toes into some new water. We recently had a customer that needed parts cast that were no longer available. Fortunately, he had one to copy. So, we are now offering casting as a service. We can duplicate parts and send them out bare brass or we can have them finished in chrome and ready to install.
One screw on the bottom of the rail allows the other piece to be removed. One in each end. Both my center section and one of the ears on mine were broken. I chose to repair the In tube portion and make a new center. It works as new.
Hi Mark. If you look at my pic. I took a washer and ground it to be that size of the broken piece. I then ground everything to fit flush at the break. I drilled the new piece and tapped the old piece for a #4 bolt. JB welded it all together. Not pretty but works great. The stainless washer piece is actually stronger than the original brass. There are people talented enough to recreate the entire piece. I am not one of them 🤪

I made a new center. The club has prints.

It's the round piece on mine that is broken. Not sure how to make a replacement one.
Send a pic. Let me look at it. I had to McGyver mine
I won't be at the boat for quite a while. It looks to me to be the piece you are holding in your hand and made of brass.
