Where on earth can you get a 1" rail clamp?

[Mike k]

I recently purchased a black ball day shape so that i can signal to all that i am at anchor enjoying the fishing- the mersey is a busy shipping port and the last thing i want is any hassle with a tanker!!

I want to find a rail clamp that will connect to my 1'' rails which has another clamp at right angles in which i can sit a pole from which i can hang the day shape
high.
I thought i had struck lucky with this but the max size is 16mm

Anyone else had anything similar or got any ideas?

thanks a lot

I might be wrong here but I seem to remember seeing something suitable in 'Force Four' chandlers when I was looking for a fishing rod holder. Sure I did see something like that. It was amongst the clamps you could attach all sorts of things to. 'star' something range. Might be worth a google.

Railblaza Starport With Railmount Adaptor £17.45
Railblaza Flagpole £24.95

There you go...just found it. Force 4. Works out a bit pricey tho but once you have the railmount, you can attach any of their products to it.

Hope that helps

We have a 1" rail mount bracket for the Metz aerial - you can bolt them back to back:
