TV mount for 22mm rod

[yotter]

I am looking to fit a small TV to a pole in the main cabin, so known as a TV pole mount. The pole is actually a 22mm rigging tie rod to transfer the rigging load to the hull, so hopefully strong enough. I have been looking on the web for an articulating VESA mount, problem is the smallest diameter pole mount is 1.1 inches, so too big. Has anyone found a safe way to mount a TV to such a pole? I may dismount it on passage, incase of vibration damaging the TV. Something like below, but for 22 mm rod.

Can you find some SS or hard plastic tube that is approximately 22 mm internal diameter and approximately 1.1 inches outside dia. I say approx because it does not need to be exact in engineering terms. Cut an appropriate length and then slice it in half. Voila, an adaptor. If using plastic material, I'm thinking water pipe, then a warm up with a hot air gun would help it reform to correct diameter curve.

Oh yes,
Perhaps some plastic water pipe, the blue stuff for mains water, that might provide packing. Will have a search. Mnay thanks

If you were able to give me exact dimensions I could print you a sleeve to take up the gap.

I would try some leather to wrap around the rod - as that has some grip plus appropriate degree of compress-ability to clamp up. Wrap in turns to required width (extra to allow clamping down).
The advantage of being retired is that I cut up old briefcases to make a stock of suitable leather.

Oh yes, I like that idea, and I am due to retire very soon

That is a very kind offer. I plan to order a suitable mount then have a think. We were in Fowey on the boat the week before last very pretty place.

How about this 22mm-to-28mm-spacer-set which reduces your 1.1" (28mm) to 22mm?

A turn of insulation tape or something on the pole to bed these on to then hold them in place with another.

The same site has metal spaces of the same OD/ID dimensions. The problem is the length of the spacers isn't indicated.

Similar idea to that proposed by others above but ready made (and more expensive of course!)

My first thought was an old bicycle inner tube.

I like the idea of leather, and also possibly self emalagmating tape. I have ordered a mount today, so I suspect a combination of materials may be deployed. I intend to secure the TV when underway at sea, so not to just relay on the mount in a seaway, it may find a way on its own otherwise. I shall report back on progress
