Have you found an LCD bracket that attaches to 25mm pipe? I only found 35mm ones

No, it is 30mm. I plan to make a split tube to pack out the pipe under the clamp.

Good idea, thanks

It's just a question of 304 stainless being OK for interior use, any thoughts?

I'd be happy with 304. Depending on l use I'd be happy for external too.

Yes, I agree. There are almost certainly quite a few 304 fittings on deck on my boat, some coming up to 30 years old and still OK. Inside absolutely no problem. The only significant difference is the 2% moly that helps to reduce pitting and crevice corrosion. Unless the interior of the boat is awash with seawater I would not be at all concerned. Most of my engine is carbon steel or cast iron, sitting above a bilge that is often wet with seawater. It has barely rusted after well over ten years.

I can make you one of them

Just a heads up to say that Colin made one for me, it is a thing of beauty. Far nicer than that picture.
