I'm looking for the replacement acrylic handle / grip on my Tropical 235.

The top and bottom fixture are there, but the handle was broken off by the previous owner.

Does anyone have a part number for the handle or a link as to where I can buy one??

I've seen straight ones, curved ones, and just not sur what to buy..

Thanks.

I would call one of these places and give them the dimensions of the present brackets.

Thanks Ed - That link has what appears to be what I need. The question at hand now is which done.

Any Tropi-Cal owners out there who can tell me if their boarding handle / grip is straight or curved??

If your Bottom Bracket measures 8 1/4". This is the correct bar .

When mine broke I kept the pieces for a pattern and bought a length of rod at a plastic supply.I made a form to shape the rod after heating it in the oven.It would have been easier to just find a replacement but I like a challenge.

I had my handle break on my 2007 Pacifica. I found the replacement at this website RV Surplus . Do not use windex to clean acrilic handles, it will cause stress fractures and evidually they will break. You can also try This website for handle etc. Fleming Sales OEM Products.
