Title: Monkey Made resivoir bracket
Post by: FJmonkey on March 23, 2013, 08:21:54 AM
My thanks to not_a_lib, I had a remote reservoir with the radial MC in my hands for a few days. I took some measurements and made some improvements to my mounting bracket design. I tightened things up from my first attempt and corrected the bolt pattern to fit the clamp top. My design uses the existing clamp top by adding spacers as you can see below.

And for you do it your selfers here are the dimensions. Not all of them but enough to get job done.

The spacers and bracket will be ready next week for members that have donated, I only ask that you pay for the shipping cost. They have not been painted but I am planning to powder coat them black.

I will have 10 sets made and a few are already accounted for so who needs them? While supplies last.

Mark,

I am very interested in these brackets as well.
Tough luck that the package is already on its way to Sweden...
If it isn't too bothersome for you to send another one, I would very much like one for my MC... 
maybe you could charge some more for the service.

Funds coming your way on Monday morning.

Maybe Ken and I can send you some Norwegian and Swedish beer and... hmmm.

Or maybe I can find some of the swedish delicacy, sour herring.
The question is... will it pass border control???
Maybe. As long as they do not open it...

:wacko3:

It would be Swedish beer then.. Norwegian beer either suck or is owned by Danish Carlsberg...

We could put on a sticker that said Scandinavian Hazard  Customs would just lough at it  :good2:

Mark,   
I just realized that the Nissin brake m/c I want to get already comes with a bracket.
So please feel free to offer your brackets to anybody else that need them!
Thank you for what you do,  we are all very thankful for what you're doing, even for us folks over the pond.
The offer still stands if you need something from Sweden. 

Take care,
Nat

I have been busy and also have the reservoir bracket ready for release to donating members. I have 5 sets ready to go and will have another 5 when the standoffs are cut and coated. All parts are Stainless Steel to prevent rust.

Same deal as always. PM me with your address, I will send via USPS, I will PM you with the actual shipping cost so you can PayPal me or otherwise compensate for the shipping cost.
