Bracket for lowering gearbox
To get to the clutch (KV6) I'm hoping to use this method of lowering the gearbox. I need to buy or make a U-shaped bracket to connect the threaded rod to the eye on the gearbox - Colin obviously made one which appears to be steel (pic below). I've got no way of bending flat steel bar into a U - so does anyone know where I can buy a ready made bracket?
This is the nearest I've got so far - https://www.fortatech.com/en/article...-50-x-24-00-mm. Or this https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/pneum...E&gclsrc=aw.ds. Both the wrong size. Last edited by Blink; 3rd August 2020 at 16:36.. |

Those CLEVIS EYES, from the reference in your post, would I think do the job perfectly.---
Not expensive and so much quicker than trying to make something yourself unless you've got lots of scrap bits and pieces of metal around. |

Btw, I don't have any bits & pieces of scrap metal lying around - even if I did I don't have a vice. And even if I did have a vice I don't have a workbench to mount it on. Therein lies the problem. Last edited by Blink; 4th August 2020 at 10:07.. |
