I recently broke the white vinyl fittings in the base of reversible pilot seat back posts in my 2001 Dauntless 16. Any know where replacements can be found - preferably stainless rather than vinyl? Any help would be appreciated.

x2 on this. 18 Dauntless uses same parts and my local BW dealer had no idea what I was talking about.

I found them through our local BW dealer here in Seattle. They said they've gotten numerous calls for these recently and the parts guy said the new ones are made of a material called Delrin which is supposed to be a stronger industrial plastic. I will post the part number when I get them later this week. By the way, they are expensive little buggers, $66 each!
