Joe,

The list doesn't accept attachments, so I'll send some pictures of other installation ideas offline.

  Hi

  I called Raymarine.... That was a waste. I did some searching and found some
  clamps
  made of metal that others have posted/fabricated . But the clamps that
  Stephen fabricated from plastic are very nicely done.

  Stephen What kind of plastic did u use to build those clamps any idea where
  I can get plastic like that.
  Is there a brand name associated with the plastic. I am located in CT

  Thank You
  Joe
