seat cowl brackets

[Albie]

Firstly has anyone got any genuine seat cowl brackets that they dont need off an early monster .
Secondly if not I want to replicate a pair so pics and general sizes would help. I know they are just basic 90 brackets but do they have strengthening ribs.

I made some from 1.8mm stainless steel plate, just a 90 degree bend, plenty strong enough without any ribs.

If you've got a vice, hammer, drill and hacksaw it's pretty straightforward stuff.

Here's a pic;

Can get measurements if you want but not really needed, just bend/drill to suit. :thumbsup:

Made mine out of ally, about the same thickness as std steel ones.
They seem to be strong enough without the strengthening rib.

I don't think its proper carbon, only carbon look. Has it been dipped?

As Darren states it's not real carbon but the standard under seat pan of an American made Sargent monster seat complete with tubed tool holder.

Very nice bit of kit...:hail:

Real carbon cowl though :)

Made the brackets tonight out of alloy sheet with a 90 bend already in it. Fitted on alright but left a gap on the seat so something needs adjusting. The hole position on the side is critical so I slotted the holes and am there. but I put a spacer under screw that mounts to the seat. Almost feels the flat part should have a crank in it.
The cowl itself is good and was the correct red too but after successfully removing white stripes it left a lacquer line which as carefully as I did wet and dry it off went down into the base coat so a complete respray is on the cards.

made some up out of steel a few years ago

they are not a 90 degree bend but two less than 90 degree bends to chamfer off the corner

you need dimensions or an original set to copy off to make life easier
