Richard, both Klacko and my local source weld a portion of a tube with a 3/8" id and fair the exits smooth. Much cleaner than the plastic grommets. incidentally, if you need grommets, most hardware stores have them in black nylon in their nuts and bolts section. better than new! They also weld a SS ring and polish the top rather than the inserted casting that was used originally.

Tony; in your response to David's inquiry about bent stanchions; I was curious about why there was no need for the plastic inserts for the lower lifelines...what did Klacko do to eliminate the need for them?

David, just went through the process of rationalizing straightening vs. new for a couple of slightly bent stanchions. Klacko Marine will build new for about $50 ea. but shipping is about the same $ from Canada to the US. Went to a local shop in Holland, Mi (Quality Marine Electronics) and got quoted $40 to straighten and $75 new. Went with new. Very ice job with a welded eye on top and no need for the cheap plastic inserts for the lower line. Klacko contact below.
