Searching for Tie Bar for drives
#1
Currently looking for a 21" tie bar to connect OMC cobra drives. Boat still has (intact) brackets on inner drive trim ram ends. Would like to replace missing bar.
Checked Eddie Marine (overkill, and need to use their brackets)
Also checked Marine Machine or Machine Marine? Anyway, same deal.
Was hoping to get a stainless bar that would attach to my existing brackets and not have to start over. The attachment style looks like one slot and one hole on each bar end.
(Pin in slot must allow pivot, while nut/bolt secures bar).
I'll post a pic of the brackets when I get home from work on the off chance somebody recognizes the bracket set up.
In the meantime I guess I'm asking for additional ideas of where else to search.
Thanks.

I had one made once. Bought 1" S/S solid bar, had the ends tapped. Bought S/S heim joints from CP.

The one with the OMCs is a Chris Craft Stinger 260.
When I had time to take a pic it was pouring.
I might fall back on making one up.
I know what S/S heim joints are...What's "CP"?
Thanks.
