Brass keel mounts

[Sapper]

I am looking ahead (a couple of years at my present build rate!) to prepare for how to display my Caldercraft HMS Victory. I have thickened the keel internally in two places to facilitate drilling bolt-holes through the keel to take future fixings. I see photos of a number of completed models that are supported by brass cylindrical mounts fixed to their keels fore and aft. Can anyone point me in the direction of where to buy these? Does anyone have an opinion as to their adequacy, or should I add lateral support amidships also?
