Default TRS trim rams needed BADLY

OK, I've about gone crazy looking for a TRS trim ram. I need one, with internal lines. If someone has more than one, great, I'll probably take them all. The end cap on one of mine broke. I cannot find a new end cap anywhere. I thought I had it made when I bought a set of housings on ebay, only to find that they were 14" housings, and I have 16" housings. Anyway, if anyone can help, please let me know. This is all that is preventing me from taking my boat out.

The application is a 1978 30' Scarab.

If you have any spare rams laying around, please give me a call at 661-268-1500.

Thanks!
Chad

kinda pricey but if you need them. I can't remember who else might have some. I think Lucky Strike on the board had some a year or 2 ago.

Send me that part number of what you are needing.

I have 2 old TRS rams in my shop that are in excellent ahspe. I have been saving them in case I ever needed them. I can sell them to you if they are the right part.

These have the stainless lines.

Mine are internal, no external lines. Sorry, I don't have any part #'s, as they have long since corroded away.

All I know for sure, is that the housing is 16" from the center of the bottom eye, to the top of the cap. I guess there were 14" and 16" units.

If they are the right ones, 16", internal lines, then I would definately be interested. Please let me know if you have them, and how much you want. Thanks!
