Supplier of stainless fittings/clamps for sprayhood solar mount

[idpnd]

Fellow forumites,

before I go into a lengthy online search, I thought I'd ask here:

Is anyone aware of a supplier of stainless fittings/clamps to extend my sprayhood? eg

I want to mount some solar panels on top. Any ideas on how to attach the actual panel would also be most gratefully received

Kayospruce; Makefast fittings; Baseline marine fittings; Profabrics(Pointnorth) or even from your local chandlery. Kayospruce is good and fast delivery and an excellent catalogue & website(best if you can get a trade account) - also Pointnorth.

Thanks!!

Has anyone done this sort of thing - how do you attach the solar panel itself?

I have used a clip similar to the one you show fitted to the horizontal bar of my cockpit cover but replaced the screws with threaded bar that extends through the canvas to fix through the lower flange of my solar panels. The threaded bar has 2 nuts to clamp the clip to the cockpit cover a spacer to lift the solar panel clear of the canvas then a nut above the solar panel flange to clamp the solar panel on to the whole assembly.
