I am trying to source some good quality stainless steel/bronze/gunmetal brackets etc, to deck mount a Manson Supreme 27kg (60lb) anchor .. without success ... ! .. in spite of major internet search ...

Can anyone identify the system shown in this photograph, which is really solid, or the names of component parts of this system which I could purchase separately .. ?
 
Thanks ... The 'chocks' stocked by Classic Marine are for much lighter anchors. I am trying to source the ones shown in the photograph as they are really robust. I do not want a 60lb anchor coming loose in heavy seas .. !

I imagined the retaining system shown on the photograph was off-the-shelf rather than bespoke, but I might be wrong. I can probably get something similar fabricated, but wanted to check first if anyone knew where I could obtain such a system, or what the screw down clamps were called and possibly where I could obtain those.
 
Pretty sure that is custom made and grossly over engineered for normal use. Anchors lashed in chocks are pretty secure. If you are that concerned about the anchor breaking loose maybe you should stow it down below.
 
Thanks .... stowing below wouldn't work for me as I am single-handed and wouldn't want to risk trying to haul up a 60lb anchor in rough seas.

Perhaps it is custom then ... I can get most of the simpler bits fabricated & modify a turnbuckle, but thought if I could at least purchase the screw down clamps, it would be a great help.

Has anyone come across screw down clamps like these .. ?
 
Did you ever find these clamps? I've also hunted high and low with no success. A chandler told me they are not made as there are so many different types of anchor there is not enough demand for one particular type.
