In a plastic tub!

So I've ditched the old TV that was in the boat as this was small and didn't have a DVB tuner.
Unfortunately, the new TV has the mounting holes in different places (but of course!). The current mount on the wall is pretty sturdy and I'd prefer not to replace that, so I was contemplating obtaining a metal plate to adapt the existing holes to fit the new TV. Something like the attached image.
The original mounting holes are spaced equally at 7.5mm whilst the new TV has them spaced at 10mm.

Anyone know where I could obtain such an item? I'd imagine any metal fabricator could easily knock this up in a few mins?
 
I realise not everybody has a fully-equipped workshop, but surely most boat-owners run to an electric drill? Metal Supermarkets in Southampton will cut out the plate for you if you don't have anything suitable lying around.
