I had a chat with Dusty yesterday about this. Sadly, no. But maybe you could get an engineering firm to knock up a batch? Then sell them!

I think it was Mutts that said the pattern that the new ones were made from has been lost. Hence no new pattern brackets available now. And that's fuelled the mental prices on ebay  Dusty |

Im sure someone has one knocking about they could recopy. Norbo? I think it's more the investment in the tooling that's the problem Can't be that big a market for them to justify it Steve |

I think Norbo used to do the pattern bracket for about £15.00

Doable at £15 if there is enough interest. Would need to do a batch of at least 50 off though, as need to consider material / laser cutting costs as well as tooling. Yes please. |

Just in case youve underestimated the work, have a good look at an OEM one as its a bit more than just a flat folded sheet, some bits are welded on etc.

Have you thought about making the indicator tube mount from that is welded to the rear sub-frame of 250/350LC, and usually cut off?
Someone does them on ebay from time to time for about 32 quid plus delivery which is a bit steep.
If you could do them for something like 15 quid too I reckon you would get a few takers.

How much would the basic horn brackets be each?
|

Post by shaunthe2nd on Feb 26, 2018 10:12:32 GMT 1
As I understand it from the previous messages standard brackets bare metal, primed or painted are 15 quid, and extra for zinc, chrome or stainless.
Hope so as its a good price I think.

i looked in to getting some lazer cut but they would not look like gen yam ones I'd get the blanks laser cut before folding them, as I really don't fancy cutting 50 of them by hand (or even 5 lol) Cheaper than getting them stamped out like standard ones, as that would need yet more tooling. I did look in to making some . the place still have the sample bracket but its taking ages they say its hard to deaw them and be %100 all bolt holls and things with match up . |

I know they take ages as well but when they make 1000's on jobs and my jobs are a few hundred they dont put the time in to the drawings as fast as id like them to .
And they have had the bugger almost 2 months
