[I'm looking for the windshield hinges for a curved 1 pice windshield like the ones that came on Flying Scott boats in the early 60's. I think there were other boats with this option, but Scott is the only one I know of. I'm going to try and post pictures.

Re: Windshield Hinge

I imagine with the old age.....you might have to have a set custom made at a machine shop then get them chromed OR weigh out the cost of having them made in stainless instead of the chrome.

I seriously doubt you will find a replacement or an equal........ looks like a specialty item

Re: Windshield Hinge

62 Royal Scott, that is what I'm looking for, thanks. I also found out that the Pacific Mariner Scimitar from the early 60's had the hinged windshield.
