 Gator tail blind
If it's a gator-tail blind that would be a good place to start!! It's is a custom blind and they do make all their own parts!!

 Re: Gator tail blind
I tried there and they acted like they didn't want to help me just said they didn't have any and didn't know when they were getting them.

 Re: Gator tail blind
I don't have camps on mine. I use zip ties to attach it to the handrails I have running the length of the boat.

 Re: Gator tail blind
This was last year, I am still working on some changes to the covering for this season.
The 3 pieces in front can be independently adjusted up or down for height 5-6 inches either way, the back is 1 piece and has about 7 inches of adjustment.

 Re: Gator tail blind
It was. It was a wore out 1971 model, I put a longtail on the boat a couple of months ago.

 Re: Gator tail blind
So are you calling Gator Tail blinds or my blind cheap, complicated, unreliable pieces of crap?
A scissor blind is a scissor blind. The frames can be made for less than $300 by anybody with a little motivation. My friends and I have made two of them for different boats. The first one we built cost a whopping $150 and has lasted 4 seasons so far with no failures.
The point I was trying to make in my original post is that the OP was simply looking for a clamp for his blind and you suggest he replace his piece of crap with your $1000 scissor blind. Calling something custom does not warrant a $500 mark up over the price of the major manufactures! If it does I have some custom cut marsh grass to sell, only $200 per 5lb bundle!!
