rossgmattinson Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 I'm beginning to consider winter jobs/projects. The H Frame support bracket on my 72 TR6 was seriously hacked about by previous owners to take large stereo head units by cutting away a lot of the alloy to take the larger units. I'd like to return it to a more original condition. To that end I know these original parts are like rocking horse pooh but does anyone out there know of somewhere to buy a good original one - not too cut about - that I could recover or does anyone know of a company producing replacement brackets?

Steve T Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Would it be possible/easier to weld some ali back in to make it an original size again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dave-lewis Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 rossgmattinson Could you please change your signature, as a dog lover I feel "never pat a burning dog " is quite offensive Dave Lewis Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was just a bit of light hearted humour - I have had dogs my whole life and wouldn't dream of harming one. However, neither would I dream of patting one of it were on ........ etc etc. Apologies for any offence caused. Any useful thoughts on the Bracket though Dave? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
openroad Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hi again , email sent with pics......it never crossed my mind that it was offensive, I too have had dogs all my life, light hearted as you say.....moving on. Conrad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hello, is it Ross?, Apology accepted and Thank You Regarding your problem with the dash support. As Steve T suggested it may be possible to get it welded up by a competent welder . Do you intend to put a radio in it? If not, using a replacement vinyl cover should hide the enlarged hole,. get a piece of ply or metal to the same thickness of the aluminium to support the Vinyl.Though It is quite thick maybe not need the backing. I hope this helps. Kind Regards, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Hi Steve, there is an events page but mainly for the local groups. Otherwise rely on general posts here and there.
