Klarzy, if you do get orders for this bracket, it might be worth also looking at making a bracket for the FBH pump, which also rots away.

Maybe offer them as a pair for those who need both?

I had to make a replacement for mine, back when.

As said before, i wouldnt go thicker than this if making it at home.

Hi Klarzy,


Do you still have the drawing for this? The links are broken to the priginals and sadly i didnt keep a copy of your dimensioned drawing. All i have is the template i cut around, and sadly the dimensions are in the bit i cut off.



Oh i have managed to find a photo of the drawing but not the drawing itself

as we have seen a least one of these leak recently I thought why not bump this excellent thread up, I am sure we will all be needing one of these stats and or brackets sooner or later.

Maybe the MODS can more this into the main tech area ? maybe combine it with this thread
