Source for SS Yokes for 1\" Tube

Hi, I'm trying to find a source for a SS connection to attach the 1" SS tube support for my Navik windvane to the hull.

what I'm looking for are typically called 'yokes' and consists of the fitting which sits either side of the tube with a bolt through to connect and the attachment is then bolted to the hull (fixed 90, 60 or 30 degree pulpit fittings are not suitable).

I've tried all the usual suspects sea-screw, picea-316 and they have'nt got them or I cannot find them !

Any help appreciated as I wanted them posted before xmas to complete the job; so please help me santa and get the PBO elves onto the job /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

If all you want is a simple fitting, you could just use some U-shaped channel, cut to about 3" long, with the corners suitably radiussed. Any S/S fabricator would make those for a few quid.

If you want something a bit more stylish, consider cast stainless canopy fittings. Something like an eye end fitted to a quick-release universal hinge would make alignment easy and enable quick removal and replacement. The following pics are from the Bainbridge Marine website, but many other suppliers have the same sort of parts.
