Brass stantions for OCCRE Endurance

[David Enghauser]

As I build the Endurance I recall someone posted an alternative stantion than the ones furnished. Could someone give me a suggestion. Thank you.

  Ahoy David !   I did  kit review (its in my stash) that included a few enhancements ('busts'?) to OcCre's Endurance - a decent kit, reasonably priced that has a build log pretty much 'out of the box', and a couple others who have included improvements.  I did order some very mice 3D brass stanchions from Cornwall Models in England, but they are not alway 'in stock':

 

Two-hole stanchions 12mm high, 1.2mm in diameter with a base flare and two 2.1mm balls having 0.75mm holes for wire railing.  The manufacturer is Caldercraft Part # 66B0518 and there are 10 pieces in a packet.  They might be available form other dealers or perhaps Caldercraft directly - you'd have to do some searching on line.  I bought 8 packs of the 2- hole stanchions, although they were out of the one-hole variety - also needed.

 

  Edit of 7-28-23 ... Just ordered some fittings for a restoration project from Age of Sail (in California), and they have a variety of one, two and 3 hole stanchions available (nut none of the 10mm single ball) from several manufacturers.  The 15mm single hole might do (for the few that are needed) and some could also be trimmed off the bottom if not used as-supplied.  Johnny
