TWL: An Engineering Sorta Question

I'm cobbling up a boat project and have run into a problem.  Since I've
notice there seems to be a large number of engineer types here, I thought
I'd ask.  I'm looking for a supplier of SS rail mounts, similar to the one
Magma Grills use to mount their propane grills to a rail.  The function
would be about the same, to hold about 5 lbs at ~12 inch length and be
quickly detached.  I really don't want to buy the grill to get the mount.
I've clumsily searched through Thomas Registry, and didn't find anything.
Any ideas?

Rick,

I'm looking for a supplier of SS rail mounts, similar to the one
Magma Grills use to mount their propane grills to a rail.  The function
would be about the same, to hold about 5 lbs at ~12 inch length and be
quickly detached.  I really don't want to buy the grill to get the mount.

I don't think that should be a problem since the mounts are sold
separately. Just to confirm I checked Magma and Force 10 in the West Marine
catalogue pgs 559-560. Actually that's one of the annoying things - having
to pay extra for the mounts

Another thought would be fishing rod holder rail mounts.

Rick, I bought a rail-mount barbeque from our local marine store. The
mount came separately at quite a price. I think there were three
different types to  choose from - all too expensive but quite
workable.

To be more clear, I was looking for a manufacturer for the rail mount for a
project to resell.  But thanks for the suggestions, one and all.
