Where can i get some wishbone brackets made up? Mine are larger than the book due to me using the Jag bones.
I would have like to make them myself but dont have the facilities to bent 3mm steel

If you're lucky you might find square section steel with the right size and 3mm wall thickness. Cut into appropriate lengths, then cut off the side with the weld to leave a 'U' section.

I know people have done this with 2" square to give standard brackets...

Or you could just use two angle brackets.

If you've got a vice and a blow-torch (standard plumbing thing) then making these isn't too bad.

I guess you haven't, in which case I apologise.

I do a wider bracket with a 10mm hole, could easily be drilled to 12mm if required, how big do they need to be & how many do you need?
