| There is a guy over there in the UK I have spoken to who makes brackets mainly for T Types but I see he has a couple of J type listed as well. I have sent you a PM with his details. |

Andrew, I will make a few (perhaps 10 pairs) if there's a collective requirement. I'll need the actual bracket and or an accurate drawing to work from.

Ian, if Roby can sort out a bracket for Andrew then that's great no problem; I've had a couple of chaps enquire about some more so it may be a goer ... however, I'm more intrigued to know what a 'PM' is Ian??

PM = private message
Effectively it is just an email but using the site rather than an email address.

Update; I'm in the process now of making these bracing brackets and the x-member between each side too

I have now completed 5 sets of these bracing brackets (3 pieces per set).
2 sets are already spoken for by Harry Neilson and Chris Dancey
£50 a set + p&p/shipping

I'm no expert but could yours be on the wrong way around Bruce? Never seen one cranked before and it doesn't really need to be!

Chris,
The fore-aft location of the Hartford dampers was determined by their arm alignment to the spring fitting beneath, hence the requirement to position the cross-member as shown and the consequential need to crank it to clear the rear of the axle - see below:
Hopefully this clarifies the installation ...... it's a result of being a 'die-hard' car design and development engineer!!

Actually Chris, It's a design supplied by, and has been for years, Sports & Vintage for converting P Types to Hartford. As a lay person I would have guessed it's more rigid than the old J Type one. after all, the actual point on which the J one mounts the damper is rather "flapping in the breeze" isn't it?

Perhaps as a matter of interest, there is a similar arrangement including a cranked cross member for the rear Hartford shock absorbers fitted as standard to the K type chassis.

Ok Chris, so the cranked was/is for the P which I didn't know and didn't realise you were referring to a PB. I made these for the D,J and F's alone.
Andrew, I've made you an odd bracket to replace the one that shows a high level of moth rust. Email me offline
