1" bimini tube clamps. Where to buy?

[dgadee]

I need a couple of these:


for 1" tube. I am having difficulty in getting them - everything seems to be 25mm. I have bought online but sellers don't seem to know that 25mm is not 1" and I have had to send them back.

Any idea where to get 1" clamps?

Have you tried Seascrew
Online Stainless Steel Fasteners and Marine Hardware

Baseline have them in 1 inch.

As Vyv says.... in their cast range.

If you're near Lee on the Solent you can just call in and have them in minutes

Seascrew now seem just to do 25mm, but - thanks Vyv - Baseline have them listed. But at an eye watering price.

I did a google search with "25.4mm" and it came up with Sheridan at half the cost of Baseline.

Thanks to you both.

With these, there are some cheaper (thinner) versions around.

Do you have a link to the Sheridan ones?

From what I see, the Baseline are a very similar price (but slightly cheaper) than the HF614B at Sheridan. I think I must be missing something on the Sheridan website.

Apologies - my misreading. I looked at Baseline's "Split Clamps" prices which were not what I was seeking . Sorry for asserting that Baseline prices were expensive in comparison to Sheridan. There is little difference and Baseline are actually cheaper.

It's not easy reading forums, snipping screenshots, comparing 25mm and 25.4mm fittings, all whilst trying to work and also thinking about how we'll replace our Calor 4.5kg cylinders this year... There's not enough time in the day.

To be honest, I just like the knowledge and quality at Baseline and just being able to have the fittings in my hands the same day.

I agree. I have bought quite a bit of kit from Baseline over the years and been pleased with the quality and service.

You could try one of the US discount Chandlers e.g.

1 Inch Rail Fittings (for Boat Decks and Handrails)

Although there are many others
I'm pretty sure they will ship internationally, just remember you will have to pay VAT to the carrier on top of shipping costs

Some years ago I wanted to buy two C-links from West Marine in USA for testing. The links were only a few dollars each. The shipping cost was $70.

Indeed and perhaps one should ask why the Chinese have by their Government subsidising shipping fees for the smallest £1 item, at nil cost to the purchaser ? Short term I expect most if not all of us have gained from this policy. Longer term this has destroyed much of the possible competition, so once the Chinese completely dominate multiple markets their attitude to subsidies and low prices may well change. Then once we are bled dry of our cash (it will run out if we are not selling stuff abroad) - well it doesn't bear thinking about.
