Wanted Rear Rack Bits

Post by George » Tue Mar 02, 2021 8:27 pm

I have a rear rack like this one:

And I need the spacers and the indicator brackets for it which are these:

I've found in the past some tubes that I could cut to size, but when I asked for a quote on a website that would laser cut the brackets, they wanted £100 for 10 brackets. I only need 2...

Any ideas? Does anyone have them laying around?

Thank you!

George M.

Can’t they be made using a hacksaw and drill?

I don't have a spare set any more but do have a set hanging on the shed wall that go with one to be refitted one day.

If it's something for a pattern you need I could scan one on a grid or even post you one for a look see. I even contemplated knocking up a pair out of 2mm flat bar myself at one stage.

You obviously know the bolts are m8 80mm long and the spacers 50mm long.

I do have a set myself as per the pictures above. Just got another rack for the JDM Rat Cub that didn't come with the spacers and brackets. I do know that they are 50 mm long and 80 mm for the bolts. I even have the CAD model for them used to get the quote. Here they are:

I will write to the seller and ask if he can find them, I will have them.

George LaserMaster in cornwall can make them they have an online order system or you could send them the drawing a lot cheaper than the others you mentioned and the will do 1 ,2, or 300000000000000 well you get the drift .
Member Cooter worked there a long while back he made the racks that go between the leg shields ,the folded steel ones .

The tube you could pick up in B&Q .. or other good hardware shops .

I'd be interested. Let's see if Steve can find the rusty ones. If not, I will get a quote from them. Is this the rack that you are mentioning?

I have sent this rack to have it zinc plated and powder coated satin black together with all the NTG bits... :lol: :D

Yes that was the rack Cooter designed and had made up on the laser mc . if you send them the drawing they will give you a quote .even in stainless.the 2 pieces without the holes would cost less than £8 .

I've requested for a quote. Let's see what they say. Uploaded the drawing and the 3D CAD.

And found some tubing! Took me a while to understand that the 12.7mm is 1/2" O/D and the 2mm wall is a 16 SWG-ish (1.63mm) gauge... hard one.
