Where can I find a stern rail mount for a 17lb fiberglass LPG tank?

Look for a steel fabrication shop.

We could do it where I work, but I think you'll do better locally.

I’ve spoken to a local shop, but they can’t bend tubing in that small of a diameter. Can you at your shop?

What material, what diameter is the tubing and what is the radius of the small ring at the bottom?

Any stainless steel tubing would be ok... 1”, 7/8”...

The OD of the tank I have now, or any normal rental tank is 12”, so one ring with the ID that size and another smaller at the bottom to keep it out of the water would work.

How about stainless round stock instead of tubing?
