Needing to buy boat seat inserts. Mine are plastic and one of them broke. Looking for better quality like brass or bronze if there is such a thing.

Willing to spend for quality. That's not a problem. So what your are saying is I'll have to get them machined. Was hoping to order or p/u at store nearby Lafayette. Thanks. :)

Yes, get you some machined...they will last forever. If I was still in the Machine Shop I would hook you up..I have built probably a hundred of these through the years.

If you need to cut down on the cost check into getting some brass bushings machined and press it onto aluminum, might save you some money....I don't know what brass goes for anymore or aluminum...

So a machine shop would do a little job like this? I would only need 3 inserts.
