That was my thinking, get the wire stock size and rig up a simple former in the press. Even if the wire needs heating first. Can be kept in its full length and pushed through the press/former in one length and cut off at the end!

I used heat, a suitable size of long bolt for the hole size, and heat. Worked out very well. I couldn't tell you which ones are original and which ones I fabricated on my carrier.

Jordan: the critical measurement is the centre- to-centre spacing of the holes. It looks like 2 -5/8" in your case. Perhaps you can comfirm: may have a few in stock. .. Brian

Try your local Marine Chandlers, they should have the size you need and stainless so no rust.

If nothing closer works out this might be a source - but be sure you are willing to pay the shipping price:

Default Footman loops

Just found these on eBay, Ohio based company, might be worth a call or message.
It won't let me post link, but item number is 122031901119, UK eBay if that makes a difference. Hope it helps some.
