Window Curtain Mounting Posts

[jmce1587]

In my 83-87 H31 there are mounting/tie off posts for curtains that look like a white cap/cover over a screw (see picture). I am mising a few of these and want to either replace with like kind or replace all. Any idea where I can get purchase these or a replacement item for all that will work? all feedback is greatly appreciated.

thanks Phil, but the cap/post is all in one white plastic with screw and not just a cover head for the screw. if all else fails, i will look into making my own with these covers.

Jerry, is it one of those little plastic spacers that ya can buy in the hardware section of Depot or Lowes or ACE?? the cylindrical nylon spacer with a hole thru it where the screw goes thru and the cap on top of the screw..?? I have 'em on my boat but haven't ever taken them off..

No Claude. this appears to be one piece. I do not see a break between the spacing or offset piece and the round top. this isn't like the cockpit locker spacers with screw hole in the middle. I haven't tried to remove these either. I was hoping someone else had experience in removing/replacing before I jump into this one.

Addl info

Phil/Claude - Yes, this is a cap and spacer combination. Phil, it appears the caps are what you sent in the link (see attached photos). Would SBO have the spacer/cap combo in stock along with mounting screws?

Jerry, take the spacer and cap and screw to an Ace hardware store (or equivalent) and in the hardware and fastener section where there are drawers of stuff , you'll find the spacers and caps.. Many of those stores will have a person who knows his stuff and can look at it and go right to the correct parts.. The big box stores have the parts as well, but you'll be less likely to find a knowledgeable person to help. Happy Hunting !
