I was told it's expensive to custom bend a stainless tube to a specific radius (jig required), but cheap to make two 90 degree turns.
My guard was $100 total from http://www.railmakers.com/about-railmakers.htm , no doubt you have a similar outfit nearby.
I have a squared off 48" x 1" , with 9 1/2" centers, stainless guard that I salvaged off of an E-28+. It had the same problem that Christian's had. I also have a new Edson stainless plate and gaskets with 9 1/2" centers plus bushings for 1" and 1 1/4" tube. In addition I have new Edson stainless steel feet also with bushings. If you are at all interested private massage me and I can send you some pictures.
Oops. Maybe I should go back to the typewriter and carbon paper.

The white plates are King StarBoard, cut with a router for a clean edge.
The existing binnacle rail mounting plate was frozen to the original guard tubing. I sawed the plate ends off, put the remains back on the binnacle, and bolted the StarBoard on top (with holes to receive the new tubes).
Hi Carroll,
I doubt there are any specs, as YS has been out of business a long time. And our pedestals may not be the same.
Are you adding a binnacle guard for the first time? If so, we can figure a way, I think.
My connector plate (with holes for the tubes of the rails), simply fastens to the top of the pedestal, under the compass.
Is that what you need?
