Here she is..

This part took some engineering. The original brace arms for the pole where almost twice as long as we wanted and they had ends on them that were machined to fit over ball joints, that we don't have. After much measuring and checking and measuring and buying a set of digital calipers, we finally figured out that the ID of the tube used originally is the same as 3/4 inch water pipe.
We didn't want to cut up the original braces, in case we wanted to move this further forward in the boat, and also if we ever move this to another boat, we'll have the original arms to work with .
So, we cut some 3/4 inch galvanized water pipe to the proper length. We reamed out the holes to 27/32 with a drill, thank you Enco for cheap drill bits. We installed the original upper mounting blocks into our new pipes, cross drilled properly for the compression pins.
On the lower end, we had wanted to K.I.S.S. so we installed a 3/8 inch bolt vertically up through the deck for a rod / ball end to attach to. Actually the bolt is not running perfectly vertical, its more like square to the deck face at this point. Too much to explain, but we lined it up so we could get the rod end to slip over the bolt nicely and then we put a wing nut on it.
