Where to buy this U-Bolt ?

[affinite]

I plan to use U-bolts to attach a 25mm dia SS tube to a flat panel in Canopus. (Its actually a ladder to a bunk.)
I want a bolt that has a "saddle" so that the tube is gripped and stood off a little.
Hope the attached pic shows what I want and Im sure Ive seen them somewhere - I just cant remember where.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

U Bolt clamp adapter.


Here for starters, but there may be other boaty suppliers.

Could you use a car exhaust clamp like this.

Not sure of sizes but could work.

I'm not sure (and hope someone directs you to the very part) but I suspect you'll have to make the saddle part yourself if you want to use a stainless u-bolt. Easiest to make pairs in nylon or similar with a one inch hole then saw in half. Otherwise you may like to consider simply drilling through the tube and bolting through a stand off - spare parts for a boarding ladder may suit?

I'm sure exhaust clamps would avoid any corrosion in a cabin. They manage pretty well underneath cars. Cheap enough to replace anyway.

Actually 25 mm is quite small. have a browse through these options https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=p...RDoXV0QWx44CwCQ&ved=0CGMQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=615

Thx all and in particular Lake Sailor.
The images you linked have led me to change my mind and I'll use polypropylene clamps instead.
Good result - Thx again
