Pablo, let me know if you make some of those brackets. I would be in for a full set.

Heck, in the salt belt those are mint. Somone can cap them

Will do!

That is what I was thinking! Subzali was interested.

Pablo, sorry to be a PIA but anymore thought on making those brackets?

Sorry I missed this.
Right now I am just looking at making a couple for my 40.
Things are going slowly as my painter just had back surgery.
If I find I can punched these out inexpensively, I will consider doing so.
What would you estimate your willingness to pay for these (price-point)?

Thanks!

25 bucks apiece? 100 bucks a set plus shipping sound like it would be worth it to you?

Yes, it could be, but I thought there were only 2 brackets (not 4)?

 

[SSCR]

You are right, for some reason I thought there was front and rear. 75 bucks plus shipping for 2?

Let me see if I can work some magic, I'll PM updates

Passenger door is full of drill holes and bondo - or

Currently hunting a replacement.

Maybe convert the current door into a half door or something.

Must be patient...

From previous work? How's the tub coming along? Pictures?

Yes, from PO (who was the Original Owner). I don't know if you remember how the back of the PS front fender was caved in? Still not sure what he did... Maybe he nailed the door in the same incident.

Trying to get ahold of Root to see if he has one... No replies thus far.

Any updates on making the brackets?

Not yet, right now we are test fitting new tub, make sure things line up with cowl section and removable top. Still tearing things down and when we got into the passenger door we found the ugliness.
When we start putting things back together we'll figure out the brackets. Should be no prob to make an extra set for you.

Progress looks great Pablo!!

I got a chance to get up and see the 40 over the weekend...

Some mods: 70 series turn signals, mod fender for PS, rear quarter for flipped rear spring pack (lipping the new opening)

Passenger door is a sad tomato...
Trying to find a new one here on the front range of CO, but no luck so far
