i need to get brackets made for my 24ml can anyone help with this it needs be done for tuesday not much time i know but if anyone has a bracket i can collect to copy or a mock up i have someone can make it
i would even pay expenses and a drink for someone in london or near to go to barbz so we can take one off to copy..he is flat out finnishing the car so has not the time to sort it before i collect tuesday
any help suggestions gratefully recieved

even an idea on making one quickly however bodge it looks as long as it works

You cant do a drawing as no 2 bars are bent the same such is the rubbish quality of the item. The simplest and strongest thing you can do is, fold 2 thin sections on the steel at 45deg then 90 then 45 the other way to make a vee shape and put 2 holes in them at the end __/\__ for the section closest to the frame, then get some 1/4 or 3/8 plate steel cut to size, drill, then bolt to the assembly with 12.9 grade cap head screws must use double washers as the head surface area is less than a hex (all cap heads tend to be 12.9 grade unless stainless), thats the easiest option, but seriously being infront of the car and getting on with it is the only way.

I've shown this pic loads of times but I made these by hand out of a chunk of ally and the bits I described above -

thanks mate thats a start

also, speak to Balance motor sport, they are making brackets for the 24mm arb!

i got Joe (CC) to send them a standard bracket to make them up!!

not sure how hey have got on, but its been a while so you never no mate!

nice one would be great if we could buy ready made

Give them a call asap!!!

no joy barbz will have to make some

KTM, if you can, why not get some sheet metal and adjust it to size as Rich said...

see this link http://thumbsnap.com/f/pb9Kt9nj

you could bend metal to shape, the drill the bolt holes in!!

does not look to hard!!

i am not doing it.. its at barbz but he usually gets alloy brackets made but we have not the time so we were looking for a quick solution

cut and weld standard brackets lol

I had my Grey Moon Plus modifications done by Jason at Super7 Autos, next door to Balance Motorsport.

We went for the 22mm diameter RARB in the end because there was no obvious bracket for the 24mm. In discussions between Jason and Balance it was suggested that a billet of aluminium drilled out to 24mm with drilled for mounting holes each side and then cut in half would be the way to go. Sounds simple but we didn't do it and Balance hadn't heard of anyone else either!

I know that Super7autos and Balance help each other out regularly so maybe Jason could help? I am extremely happy with the standard of Jason's work (Ex Alfa and Fiat man and a dab hand at all tuning, and bodywork) and would recommend him anyday. enquiries@super7autos.co.uk if you want to conact him.
Good Luck

It would be better (for the sake of absolute accuracy) if you had 2 pieces of billet, clamp them together, drill out the centre bore of 24mm and then drilled out the mount holes.

And got them anodised to prevent corrosion/reaction

Problem is Chris, that would give you symmentrical clamps, and few of the bars sit symmetrically in the clamp position, on side did for me the other passes through at about a 75deg angle, meaning one clamp was made with an angled cut out off set to one side.

Both of my brackets had to be made with angled cut outs.

can anyone lend me one ? taffy who made yours? i have left my car down at barbz for a few more days for various other little jobs whilst hoping to find a solution i know barbz hasn't the time to fabricate himself as he has so much work waiting to be done i am backing him up (no prune jokes please)i do not want to have to put a the 22 on only to have to take it off and swap it anyway

I made them Rob. I made them out of a block of ally like Rich.

ok now ..my poor attempts at finding a solution must have spurred him on and he is now doing them himself..

As said above the Whiteline ARB is of varied quality, even my 22mm needed new brackets to sit tight. I made them like this:
