I bought some clips for my bimini from taco marine after having no luck finding them anywhere- yamaha didn't list them separately and wanted to sell me the pole $150 to get the oem clip. I searched and searched for them because I knew yamaha bought them from somewhere- just wish they would point you in the right direction though- oh the clips were $3 so i bought a few extra.
Can you show me a pic please of these clips?

No the D ring that you turn to lock the ball pin in. But I don't think they sell them separately. Gonna make my own, Lowe's sell something similar for $1.50
I think you are referring to the one in the pic below. But honestly I haven't seen it online separately.

yeah, that seems pretty specialized because it has the cut out for the ball lock and release. Good luck. Like to see what your are finding at Lowes

For now I just put a skinny nail thru it that is as thick as I could fit and bent it into a circle. It works but I need to get it fixed up

I ordered yesterday from partzilla, they said it’s backordered…
You couldn’t order direct from Taco?

That happened to me with a steering cable from Partzilla. They showed it in stock and I’ve been waiting 2 months. Kind of BS that they do that.

Yes, I'm ordering from Taco, but I need to see if mine is flat or concave, there are 2 choices. Waiting until I go block my trailer tomorrow and will take a look. Thanks for the heads up!
