WTB: Custom/aluminum upper radiator brackets

I've seen some come up for sale here and they look pretty cool, so I just wanted to put out a feeler in case anyone has some lying around they're not going to use.

Thanks!

Awesome, got any pics? And what's the cost? Let's see if this thread draws any more attention and we can get 5 orders!

If you could do rounded corners, I'd buy a set for sure.

I'll look into the rounded corners but it would be more expensive as a new program would have to be made to make just one set. Maybe 5bucks more not sure got to see what the total run time equals out to

I may even buy two sets. Maybe take a poll to see what everybody wants. With any luck, maybe the majority will like rounded corners like me.

I prefer the rounded pair....however, I will take the squared corner also if you reach five prospects for that shape first. In other words, I'm in either way!

Looking at the second to last picture at the OEM bracket vs your bracket, it would look great if you mimicked the idea/concept of the curvature of the OEM piece. Meaning...
on the chassis side, small radius with a tangent in between
on the radiator side, large radius with no tangent (continuous arc/circle)

so a bracket with rounded ends would be the same price as brackets with squared ends. I'll post a quick drawing later I made to give everyone a idea what I'm thinking and make sure we are all on the same page.

as for a brackt with a more oem style look to it I'd have to check. what I can do is offer either square or rounded edges in sets of five for 65shipped and custom orders as needed.

also custom orders would need to be paid for upfront.

I would prefer rounded edges, but if you only have squared then that would have to do.

I guess I'm not completely clear on what the situation is ...

Are orders being taken?

Is a list of buyers being compiled?

Are we supposed to be sending $$ and if so, to who?

What's going on is we need at least five willing to buy a set before I'll make another run of these. I now count five people and will get the materials to make them. It takes about two weeks from the time supplies are ordered to them being shipped to you.

This run of brackets will all be with rounded ends and be 1st come 1st served as a deposit is gave to hold your spot with the balance to be paid when they are ready to be shipped. If the balanced is not received in a agreed amount of time I will refund the money and sell it to someone else.

Price is 65shipped, I'll update the thread in a few days when supplies are ordered.

I'm still in for round edges and I'm paypal ready. How much should deposit be? Also, did you create your rough draft sketch of what new rounded edged mounts would resemble? If so, pls post. TY

PayPal is inzom@yahoo.com

Sorry worked late I'll post pics today after work

PayPal has a money converter but for Canada I'd say 70shipped and if it's more I'll just eat the difference
