I have replaced Perko with Perko. Interestingly, a LOT of their items are still available, and identical to what they made 50 years ago. (read, not much better) Also Interestingly, I discovered lots of their stuff was chrome plated zinc!
I think maybe they started out making hardware for cheap outboard boats.

It's usually chrome plated brass. Most owners replace with solid stainless parts.

If they're brass, it's probably not worth the bother, as brass doesn't seem to hold up as well. -- Shawn Wright [email protected] S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto On Fri, May 8, 2020 at 6:24 AM David Risch via CnC-List < [email protected]> wrote: So I have these pitted Perko chrome hasps.
