...and stop at Ace Hardware on the way home for the bolts washers and pins!

Exactly what i was thinking | | | | | Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 793 Bondo Artiste | | Bondo Artiste Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 793 | Never said it was a great deal. But it is a good deal. If you think you can properly form those brackets with just a bench vice your sadly mistaken. Better practice with some junk metal first.

I tried the vice at first and they looked bad. With the press they are exactly like originals.You do need to find a piece of steel the correct width to place in the middle as you are pressing, I don't recall the width though. | | | | | Joined: May 2010 Posts: 24 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: May 2010 Posts: 24 | just remember they also take a pivot pin.....then a 1/4 inch bolt. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 42 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 42 | If there is enough of a demand ( like around 10 people). I will fabricate them for everyone. I have fabricated them for mine and they look original. I can include them with hardware if you need me too.
