Daft idea, maybe, but could a blacksmith not knock a set together easily enough?

We used a blacksmith down in Falmouth to cast a new search light mounting, will try and find his details the guy is a perfectionist, retired farmer that has a workshop with every bit of kit you could imagine.
Also would it be worth seeing if some old railway stock might do the job
I always see both sides of the argument, the one that's wrong and mine.....

i turned a 16" trolley wheel out off a piece of 4" mild to replace a cast one that broke-always an option as well.
bend it,and if you can`t bend it,break it.
