Ball & Socket Deck Mount insert and bimini pole velcro

[brstephe]

2004 Sundeck 220. Guest "helped" me put away bimini and popped the black nylon insert out of the middle socket deck mount on back. Where to find a replacement insert of the entire deck mount that is IDENTICAL. Is this Taylor Made or something like this on ebay:

Also, the velcro is very worn out on the bimini poles, advise on replacement? I ironically have some pop rivet tools from a past car restoration project. Is this the angle and just go buy some generic velcro?

Sockets are made by Taco Marine (no joke). Quick search of the interwebs will help.

Get a pop rivet gun and some rivets and go to town on the velcro.

Good luck!

What is the Velcro used for?

Keeps the support poles together for storage.

I bought velcro at HD likely much cheaper and replaced mine.

You can get the nylon inserts from pier supply I just ordered a 10 pack of them for $12. They also have the little stainless pins that hold them all together. Nylon part F13-0243DEL
