Flare Box Bracket for the A frame

I'm looking to get two brackets to hold Flare boxes on the A Frame. Anyone know where to get them or will i need to get them made up?

However you fix or mount them on the A frame , be sure you can reach or relese them in event of a capsize ,not good if the boats upsidedown flare box is then 5 foot underwater .

They arrived this moring, what i would say is that they are seriously robust. Not taking anything away from the £50 ones but the XS ones probably have three times the Stainless in them. They also have XS Ribs written into them but hey ho. Super quick service too.

Here you go, the one on the left still has the black plastic covering on it, to be honest there almost too shiny for my black A Frame, should have left the plastic on!

BTW does anybody know a place to buy small flareboxes. My Avon SR4.7 would look a bit small compared to those big boxes. I'm looking for something like 20x20x30 cm (maximum) .. but rather (17x17x28xcm) .... the "standard" is 20x20x38 cm - right ?
