Bomar Portlight Lens Replacement

[CaptBo]

Anyone have a line on where I can get a lens replacement? All the sources I've found want to sell the frame and all and I only need the lens. 18.5x8.75 Pompanette Grey series.
Thanks!

Why not use toughened glass?

How do you replace a port light lens with toughened glass?

I had my toughened glass cut to the dimensions I wanted but it was square with rounded corners. They probably could do oval shaped lenses though.

I just did a google on "Bomar portlight lense replacement" and came up with some potential suppliers? (But I live in Australia)

I posted a link to a supplier I have bought lenses from before. They are not difficult to find.

The lenses have molded in hinges, and a lipped rim around the edge. The shape isn't the issue, it is that glass is flat and doesn't have molded in features.

OMG! I think I'd be looking for an alternative portlight.

Yep. Mostly about hatches and mods.

I've checked various websites, too. None are selling just the lens. Except that one Hunter Owners site and that one is back-ordered.
