that looks pretty custom made by a clever guy who appreciates multipurposing - probably MacGyver

Other than being black, mine look the same. Definitely factory. No idea of source.

Make shift them utilizing a stainless lifting eye nut and a nylon spacer washer;)

My bad, very clever design, just the same... looked like a brilliant adaptation of a bow u-bolt.:cool:

Taylor Made makes these. They might work also with little or no mods

My 1972 Seafari has the identical tan plastic wingnuts. They feel very brittle and I am hesitant to use them, so might be looking for a replacement too.

These and gasket hardware came from American marine producets - if I remember correctly. A member was recently looking for the gaskets. I purchased a lot of the hardware when I rebuilt my scepter windshield a couple years ago. They were really helpful

American Marine in Florida
If redoing, go for the upgraded handles - they're stout !

Contacted American Marine they said no longer available . Flexpat was nice enough to offer to produce cad /programming for them , to use with a 3D printer . So i mailed him an old one . He is going to email me the programming (don't even know if that is the right term) so when i get that ,i will have some made, if they work out good I will get more ,than I need made and offer them to anyone who needs them
