In the past month someone posted a link to a supplier of stainless deck fittings, other than Baseline. I'm sure saved the link, but I can't find it.

I actually want an end cap for 25mm stanchion tube, and a round fitting like this, external to the 25mm would be preferable:

Any suggestions?

I can't help you with deck fittings at this stage. When it comes to S/S hinges, latches, barrel bolts, fasteners etc try eBay as they offer very good prices. Just watch some suppliers who will try to pass off mild steel as s/s. ( I've complained to eBay but it appears they have done nothing)

This is a UK firm selling on eBay. The base looks identical to the one in your photo ...
That's because it is the one in my photo (although I made it look better), but it's 22mm.

Thanks for replies, SeaScrew 4111225 is ideal for the base, but no luck finding an end cap. I want this to be a plain blanked off tube with 25mm ID, or with a flange and fit inside the pipe.

Perhaps I'll explain. I'm fitting a 25mm pipe between the top of the curved rail behind my chart table (the end cap) to the underside of the coachroof (the round base, mounted on a round block of teak cut to a 7° angle). This is to mount a computer monitor. I will recess the base of the tube with the end cap into the rail, and put a screw downwards into the plywood bulkhead below.

Nigel,
If you have no luck getting an end cap you can get one of these
4665025.gif

25mm Fork for Tube End 6.4mm Screw & Grub Screws
Polished 316 Stainless Tube Fitting (Reference #4665025) @ £6.53+VAT

Grind the forks off flush and polish up. There's loads of meat in the end. Here's one I did - I've drilled a hole in the end to take a threaded bar.

Could the one on the bottom right be cut down to look like this, but still have a few mm at the end?

Yes it could, you have around 4mm to play with after cutting off the end piece.

Why not just get a black plastic insert....
I can get these sizes.
No more than 20p each.
Would just be postage on that.

1"x 16/18g 25x1.25/1.50
1" 14/16g HD
1" 14/16g 25.4 x 2/3.25

I typed into google search "25mm stainless steel end cap tube" clicked on 'images' and there were a plethora of fittings from both here and abroad.

Or alternatively you could try here: http://juststainless.co.uk/products/handrail/handrail_fittings.asp#JSLE08

Also a company called andythornton.com, when i was going to do make my stanchions from carbon fibre tube i was going to use these:

I'm nearly sorted, I'm back to 25mm tube.

I've found a supplier on eBay selling polished tube at a reasonable price, the only possible downside is that it's "18/8 - 18% chromium & 8% nickel" not 316. This will be inside the saloon, does the grade matter?

[Later] Just noticed the wall thickness is only 1.5mm, this may be a bit thin.
