Want To Buy: Aries Vane Part

[GWB]

Looking for one of the clamps that hold the mounting tubes. These are made from aluminum and there are usually 4 or so used to mount the windvane to the boat.
Thanks for any leads

GWB - If you can't find a replaceemnt part (I think they are still available from Aries)
It should not be too big of a job to have a machine shop make one up out of bar stock.
I have a set for our wind vane">Aries wind vane, but no extras to get rid of.

Thanks for the replies. The parts purchased from england or denmark are hideously expensive ($350 for a set)
I just need 1 used one

I don't suppose any of these might be adapted ...
