Use this insert eye end with deck mounting and angle hinges (found in our Boat Top Fittings section), used in the assembly of boat top frames like dodgers and bimini tops. When inserted, the flange of this insert eye end is flush with the outside of 7/8-inch OD tubing so it will not slide out. This internal eye end fits inside the tube then the tube is crimped where the indentation is (it must be secured by means of a crimping tool or rivet). Made of lightweight aluminum, this boat top fitting is built for marine conditions. Use these bimini top caps as replacement parts or for a new project.
