Dear All,
It has always seemed to me that we are resigned to hardware and the like suppliers such as west marine, and othe boat companies or Austin and other hinge suppliers.
However, an old restoration hardware supplier came to mind and boy am I happy I remembered them. They are Van Dyke's Restorers and their free catalog is a treasure trove of unique items for teardrop applications. They even have a website http://www.vandykes.com/
