I made s stand using square tube and a single Holdfast clamp. In hindsight I should have used two clamps. Mine doglegs at the bottom and doubles as a floor stand with the two hooks for the rear triangle.

 

As far as the T-Piece goes, What about using the heavy duty thick walled ones (Dark Grey) that they use for cooling towers and similar water and chemical lines?

 

They are PVC and not as brittle. It may work. A tight fitting steel pipe will be neccesary though so no play is present. Epoxy can be sused to make a more secire fit and take up small play. Pop rivets with washers to spread the load can then be used to attach securely to the steel pipe.
