Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 22, 2011 Nice idea. I was wondering if our resident Stainless expert, Daves16V, would make some for us. :D Haven't got any by the way, just a "count me in" if someone was to replicate them in stainless! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha, yes I've considered it but would want to get hold of a set to copy rather than pull mine off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 0 Posted June 23, 2011 im just after all 3, my mate has all the tools, materials and a bead roller meaning it should look oem, if they are easy to reproduce, then will have a few sets available possibly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted June 23, 2011 I will wrap them up,get them weighed,you can have them for postage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 0 Posted June 23, 2011 cheers mate, that would be ideal :) my mate works with titanium and all sorts of other metals so stainless should be simples :) Pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted June 23, 2011 the late 70L tanks sit quite low and the straps can be seen from the back quite easily, I think I'd prefer painted or powder coated to bare stainless or it might look a bit odd, like a rear valance is missing or something.

dragon green 5 Posted June 26, 2011 The two long straps are held on by one bolt ! The bracket pictured sandwiches them together. If you look up by your rear valence,you can see what I mean. Here's a pic stolen from ETKA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
