How to attach teak rail to base aft deck area

[tmh]

OK, the previous owner installed the rail base(s) around the cockpit and boaught the teak railing pieces - but never installed the wood. So I have the bases installed. How do i attach the teak railing? It's just a rectangular profile, so i figured I'd be screwing in a 90 deg. bracket that fit into the bases, right? Can't find such an item.

Here is a similar base bracket as is installed on my boat - from the iBoats store.

The brackets on the boat are the same that would be used on the rail, with a length of steel or aluminum tubing or teak dowel between each bracket.

Bracket on the boat, bracket on the rail, tube in between.

OK, I'm sure stupid! That's so simple .... must have been looking for a one-piece solution I guess.

Thanks. I wonder if the teak dowels would look better or the aluminum.... I haven't seen the teak dowels but i am sure they are easy enough to find.
