Bob,

When you cut through all the BS, boat manufacturers use a lot of standard 
stuff.  They can't afford to make or purchase custom hardware.  I'm guessing 
there's a chance the aluminum frames are or were a standard window extrusion.  
Maybe if you took the frame to a large, old, well established window or glass 
company, you might find an old timer that can help.
