3 of the 4 clamps that hold the rail and attach under the rear seat on my Sourpuss restoration were broken and the last one has a stress crack in the bend.
I am looking for a supplier of these clamps. (picture attached)

That does not appear to be original.

The Sourpuss 13' only has two supports for the rear railing.

Take a look at other members personal pages in our Resources section.

Thanks Joe. Here is the bottom side of the rear seat and the support rails when I took them off. The back does screw in the rail with one screw but needs to be supported on some way. The original cushion is still on the seat and you can where this appears to be the only connection point. Without the brackets the rear section of the rail would have no support.
Looks like I can only attach one pic at a time so I will post the rail pic next.

Thanks for the info Michael.

I never knew there were 4 of those underneath the seat.

Will add that photo of the underneath seat clamps to the OEM parts photo section when I get a chance.

The Whaler catalog does not even show those brackets.
See attachment.
(Edit: fixed attachment photo)

Thanks Joe and I will keep you updated if I find these mystery clamps. I'm going to build out project page. I have quite a few original documents and pics to add that my be helpful or just interesting to the Sourpuss community out there.
