[QUOTE="J.P., post: 279138, member: 5999"] welcome to tinboats! looks like it's made from cast iron or aluminum, those are brittle. i don't know where you could buy an original nor would i recommend it since it's brittle (i know, i know, the original lasted for many years, but it would suck if it breaks again many years from now.....). i think you should replace it with stainless steel. it appears to be an easy fab job using SS angle with the eye welded along the corner, drill 4 holes and bolt it on ( i won't trust a rivet for this purpose)... the simplest option is to drill 2 holes for a U-bolt, and patch up the old rivet holes....
