Well!

I sourced some round stainless tubing… got my electrician friend to help me bend them with the mechanical pipe bender… had my father help me flatten the ends out with a vice… drilled holes in them (extremely difficult)…. Then started to source my brackets and hardware and I created them piece by piece!

They are totally custom!
So… unfortunately I can only just say “I built them”. But don’t feel hopeless, there are opportunities out there. Stay creative! I found the most difficult part was to get the right brackets for mounting them - and to work with some slight height differences in the arm height.

I definitely recommend looking into RIVET NUTS. Harbor freight has a very cheap tool that allows you to install threaded rivet nuts - and you can source stainless steel ones online!
