Nose cone.
Scuttle.
bike engine frame to chassis.
Brake line flexi pipe to copper pipe.

is there a supplier of L brackets in Steel to i can weld them to my frame and save me making them.

Do they need to be that thick? B&Q have a lot of thinner but still structural brackets in the building and framing sections.

I use 20mm wide x 2mm thick aluminiun strip from B&Q they only cost a few quid for a metre

need thick ones for holding the engine frame on. and thick ones to hold radiator on. other ones not so thick will be fine.

also some half brackets would be good too. a little like below.

Buy a length of steel L section... get a decent jigsaw and blade and chop it into pieces... drill the holes and use a grinder to round the corners... 10 mins per bracket! Cost.... about £0.20p!

For my nose cone and scuttle I just set riv-nuts into the top chassis rail.

Cheers,
James

thanks all. will have a go then....

steer clear of the b&q stuff, it might be cheap but its complete crap. the aluminium is especially appalling.

ally best (and cheapest) from scrap metal merchants
