Cal 25-2 stern trim piece

Hi - my 78 Cal 25-2 is now missing the 2 outboard stern aluminum trim pieces. These pieces cover the hull-deck joint at the stern of the boat. There are 3 pieces total, one each outside of the chainplates, and one between the chainplates. I'm missing the outboard pieces. One is somewhere on the floor of the Pacific between L A Harbor and Catalina, and the other is in the trunk of my car. This means I have a sample to match which is good. Does anyone know where I might find replacements? And, does anyone haave a better idea for mounting that the pop-rivets that were originally used?

Hi, ko6dr. Going through this on a CAL 25 flat deck stern right now. Taco has an aluminum variant, but bending it could be a bit messy. I have some of the Taco stuff and have not yet installed. McMaster has a vinyl molding in the same shape that would probably do the job. I also got some of that. As with everything I do on boats, I am experimenting. If one satisfies the intent of a part, one does not always need the exact part itself. Also, duct tape now comes in many colors. :- ] Cheers Charlie Annapolis From: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com [mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of ko6dr Sent: Monday, April 19, 2010 2:31 PM To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Subject: [Cal_Boats] Cal 25-2 stern trim piece Hi - my 78 Cal 25-2 is now missing the 2 outboard stern aluminum trim pieces.
