Springfield pedestal cap

[Pezman38]

Anyone know where to pick up a pedestal cap for a springfield spring lock AD type pedestal?

Here is a picture of the pedestal with a cap, I just need a new cap/sleeve.

I got mine from a dealer...frankies had them in stock and shipped out same day. They were on my step in 2 days. But, the replacement caps are a little different than the stock. One, supposed to glue them on which is dumb, the stock ones are riveted...so, I drilled the hole in the cap and riveted on. Second, they don't have the lock hole so your seat doesn't spin...not sure why?? So, I drilled that hole as well. Not like these were big issues, easy enough to take care of.

While I had 2 caps that were shot/wore out...I order an extra 2. I'm going to need them some day. The stock caps lasted 4 1/2 years...I'll have extras when I need them.

Give Frankies Marine a call.

Thanks for the tip. I sent an email off to them, with the holidays not sure how long it will take to hear from them.

Any other options people have done?

The marina said they don't have the bushing. So I sent it to springfield and they are going to custom fit one. It will be a couple months however, good thing it is winter.
