Bob, Perhaps a Sail Stop Slug ? See: https://www.mariner-sails.com/partdetail.asp?id=24878 Used as a "platform" for a mounting strip ?
Also, Many hardware shops carry Anodized Aluminum rod. And.. Fishing rod blanks of Carbon Fiber may work for you. Maybe a call or email to On Line Metals... See: http://www.onlinemetals.com/ My question is ... How are you planning to mount this ? Just curious.

I can cut it to the correct length but the width and thickness needs to match. I bought a digital compass and it uses velcro to attach to the mast. I would like to make a 3" long bracket that will slide in the mast track. I would screw it into the track to hold it in place. I made a prototype out of a metal bar from Lowes but that will rust. I could paint it but I have concerns that the paint will scrape off when I slide it down the mast track and it will rust. Thoughts? Bob Mann
