Metal fabricator sought

Post by Stefvan »

I have an opportunity to get a Westy high top Safety net copied, I have a brown one and Im getting it made in Grey to match my van. I was thinking of getting another 5 made but I am struggling to find someone who can copy the brackets ?
The round bracket is 1120mm long the main pipe is 19mm (3/4") and the thinner end parts are 17mm. (5/8")
The bar is 1160mm long by 15mm by 3.5mm and has 5 holes drilled in it.
I would need 5 off of both pieces. Plus 10 of the springs and 10 of the small ends which slip over the thinner ends (see bracket4 picture).

I live near Heathrow, but obviously can post the relevant bits ??

Could you make them more cage like, so kids can't get out?

Hi there, just seen this thread, really looking at getting a safety net as described for my 1990 California, if you are making them can you please let me know? I will have a look at your website too!
