Bracket fabrication

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





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

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?





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1
