I got mine at West. I was lucky, and you might also, if you come across the ones made of stainless. I guess they were too expensive, so they switched to the nylon ones. The SS's they put on the markdown rach for $4.77 each. They had 7, but of course I needed 8 for the solar panels.
West, Defender, Sailrite, I am sure they are there, but cannot locate them. You also see them on the bottom of the swing-up rail seats.
Here they are at Defenders: http://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1|7504|2290179&id=2014957
My old ones didn't have the black knob and cost about half as much. Not sure if they still make the type in your picture.

The type in the picture are from a solar mounting kit for $109. One could get the parts and build the kit for about $30~$40. I have decided to go with Ancor Stainless Steel Cushion Clamps for my solar panel as a temporary installation for an upcoming cruise. That should work to keep the panel on the stern rail. Eventually I will make it semi-permanent with the above clamps and straps. My panel is on 50 watts so it is light enough that the temporary clamps will hold it just fine.
Thanks guys.
Thanks guys.
I was at Baconsails yesterday and they have the Sea Tow rails clamp ones like Defender, but for $27.99 for two that are heavier duty, fit up to 1.1/8 tubes. On the West online, what Brian pictures is 2 for $25. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wc...toreNum=50751&subdeptNum=50759&classNum=50760
