This pool is probably 30 years old, since converting to salt water it has rotted the top rails above the skimmer, and under the ladder. I'd like to replace at least those 2, but I can't find exact matches anywhere. I scrolled through the long list of images at Inyo pool, and didn't see it. They measure 53" long. I appreciate any help.

I’m not sure if salt caused this. Were you able to find the rails you need?
Inyo pool thinks the pool is a Cornelius brand, and although they are still in business, they do not produce this exact part anymore. We converted this pool to a SWG 3 years ago and it has been very noticable that the first 25+ years as a non salt water pool caused limited rusting. Basically everything within 15 ft of the pool has rusted incredibly since we converted, I realize this old pool is not meant to be used with salt water and is also getting near the end of its life. I am in the process of painting the rusted parts with a rust converter and a new topcoat. If we get a new pool it will have more resin or plastic parts.
