hmm. I have never dealt with them as far as I can remember. I know that most stuff thru water bonnet, or Taylor is discontinued after 5-7 years of non sales of a certain part. Can his existing windshield fram rail be bent back into shape, or is it kinked? If I remeber from when we did some work on his 22 the rails were stainless as opposed to aluminum. I may be able to get my metal fab shop to refab one in the press & polish it.. I can check with them if need be.. I would need some measurements though & a little diagram. I dont vividly remember the full profile of the rail or its dimensions, also eventhough there are usually several Donzi's at any given time in my shop, I dont have one with his windshield in currently.. :bonk:

Im here if I can help.. Let me know guys.. :) Jamie / Lakeside

Jamie Ken will give you a call, he is on his way down from the river. It may be fixable as there is no kinks! Over the years I have bent a few on clients boats one way or another and managed to save most! I will look at it as soon as I get up to the river! Ah 1K is a coming!

Sounds good.. Actually if it is not kinked, you may be able to bend it back, or have a local metal fabricator do it.. :) I am here if you guys need me.. :) Jamie / Lakeside
