Does the standard "book" brackets (either champion or Gibbs) have a 1/2" bolt hole anyone know.
Alternatively does anyone sell brackets with 1/2" bolt holes off the shelf.


Cheers

I would highly recommend Dave at Rogue engineering;

I got my brackets from him and he seems quite receptive to customizations. Very good prices too.

2nd for Dave. It's where I got mine from and the chassis plates.

If your holes are M12 it's worth getting a reamer to match the bushes. I had to ream all my fury chassis holes to match the bushes.

Im going to build mine and weld a 12mm stainless washer on the outside then ream the hole with the correct size reamer once welded on the chassis.

I should point out that I reamed the fury chassis, the Haynes brackets for the roadster from Dave are fine!
