Ribcraft sell them, £275+ vat i think.
But looks like they only do them in pairs. I looked at them on a Ribcraft where we keep the boat and it looks like the fitting will only fit a Ribcraft a frame.

I'll put a couple of pics up in a bit once I get them off the phone.

If any does know where else they can be bought I would like to know, been trying to get 1 for ages.

I think they were in the last IBS catalogue www.ibs-boats.com

Aging Youth had some made locally last year for next to nothing, and I welded on some straps to attach them to his A-Frame.

I think I'll see if I can borrow them to copy, as there is always interest in them.
I'm sure I could make them for a lot less than £275+ vat, and even custom build them to fit different frames.

Anyone have any Stainless rod or strapping going cheap?
