Member Posts: 3 Comments: 0 Joined: 09/12/06	I am restoring the fishing platform and console on my 68 nauset and wonder if anyone has a source for the grommet/washers that are used with the stainless screws to set the console/seat/platform. I tried to buy an identical washer at my local specialty fastener store and was told that the originals are no longer made. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I went to a speciality fastener store and was told they were a unique design. The finishing washers I was able to find are much taller and wider than the original ones found on the 68 nauset.

Don't know why my local specialty fastener store could not point me in that direction as I had shown them the washer. Thanks to everyone that suggested sources.
