thwat bolts on KennebecMorris hybrid

[charltons]

I read on another post that these canoes used "crescent t-shaped thwart bolts". Does anyone have a picture of these, a description, or better yet, a supplier? Without going too crazy, I want to rebuild it as closely as possible to the original.

Thanks,
Steve

As for the title- Thwart not "thwat".

I'm not sure about the "hybrids" but I believe this is what you are referring to.

Thwat is actually correct in "Down East" and if you spell phonetically.
