Does anyone know where I can buy a rigging tube flange? ASAP supplies have them but will only supply a minimum of 5

No, they're not the same.
Try a Suzuki or Yamaha dealer for the rigging tube flanges - about £20 apiece

Searider elephant's trunks have an octogonal flange which is screwed to the outside face of the transom - they come up from time to time on ebay, or try IBS, Polymarine, or Avon dealers. I think Ribcraft also use the same type of trunk as Avon.

edit:
just checked ASAP site and they have them available as singles................for over £20+VAT each

Unfortunatly when you place an order for 1 they send you the following email:-
We have everything you ordered in stock, except.......
Qty Item Expected here
1 x P-0357DP1CHR Rigging tube. We would only be able to supply this part in a quantity of 5. Could you please email me back to advise if you would be interested in having five.

Try ringing them. I've always found them to be very helpful.
