When I contacted my local parts supplier to see if may have a 99 stand, she stated the direct replaced was a 66 stand. Is this correct?

No. You need a 30-99 stand which as you were told is discontinued. Try searching ebay for a decent used one. They are getting as rare as hens teeth. The Silver Beach is a one of a kind model.              Rudy

Someone may have read the number upside down... ;D ;D ;D

Just checked the bins --

99 has (3) threaded screw holes -- 66 has (2) -- and they do not line up.

 Rudy is correct, the 99 seat is a very tough find nowadays.

  Another option for a silver beach 99 is to widen it a bit by using a 112 seat and a jigmaster 500 spool and posts.

Another option is a Newell 332 stand. Might be easier to find

Or a new or used tiburon or a used accurate frame.
