Default White windscreen grommets?

Does anyone know where I can find the white rubber step bushings/grommets for windscreen installation? Bruce did not have any left to go with my new screen and the ones in the boat are dried out and crumbling upon removal.

The screws it is installed with are #10x1-1/4" stainless pan head screws/ white painted heads. I can get these locally or reuse the ones in it now but the bushings are a problem.

Hardware store or search online for them. Alot of mom & pop harware stores have a nice selection of little things like this that Home Depot & Lowes doesnt. Probably going to be one of things you have to search for.

Tried HD and Lowes at lunch, as well as an Aubochon and an Ace. No go on all. Can't find them online either.

The hardware stores have nylon step bushings, but nothing like these.

I don't know where you live, but send me a PM if you can't find them. I'm pretty sure that I have at least a half-dozen at my house... or I can run up the street and get them for you and put 'em in the mail. I'll take a picture of what I have when I get home from work just to make sure that we are talking about the same thing.

Will these work for ya? I used them for the windscreen install on my Cig, but had to trim them down about 3/8". I have 10 of them. If they will work, PM me your address and how many you need and I'll put them in the mail for you.

Cheers,
Craig

The windscreen will be here tomorrow I think from Bruce. I will take a look to see how many I need. I believe it is more than 10.

Those look like a hard plastic, did you use any rubber or anything for dampening or just screws and those? The ones in mine now (that are crumbling) are hard rubber.

The screen finally arrived. On my way to the shop where the boat is residing I hit one last Aubochon and found the same ones you have. They are a 1/4"W x 1/2"L nylon step bushing. I grabbed them along with regular finish washers to cover them. This should do it.

Thanks for the help and offer!
