Quintrex Canopy Fitting
Spares support for older Quintrex products is patchy at best. Reproducing the canopy fitting locally is often quicker and cheaper than the hunt for old stock. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break
Bimini and canopy fittings snap at the knuckle. Vibration fatigue does the damage: thousands of small flexes add up to a crack at the stress point, usually right where the part clips or pivots.
How we reproduce them
Bring in the broken part and we'll reverse engineer it — usually with a design tweak that addresses why it failed in the first place, not just a copy of the weak original.
We print these in PA-CF. Carbon-fibre nylon is the strongest material we run — it goes into parts that carry real load, where a lesser plastic would be the next thing to break.
Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
