repro 45 headache rack on Ebay

[65-fj45]

First what you need to do is find someone to reproduce them, since you have a good copy, if not send it to me and i'll find some one, and pay you for the rental.

How many should be made? 10?

 

[65-fj45]

10 would be great. I was looking for one to make copys from, I think you could sell them all.

If you can measure the radius of that bend, and if I can get a die for the radius, I could do them.

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

What is that a square die and some flat?

 

[bull]

I don't have it yet. Let you know when I do.

 

[foxfab]

yep, square die, square tube, prolly .120 wall, and some laser cut plate. Weld em up and its all good.

Mike, if you would just come down and pick up that longbed, I've got a headache rack from my baby blue 65 that you could take all the measurements you need from. AND NO! I will not drag the rack to the swapmeet! ;p

 

[Landpimp]

original would have been body color, but its up to you, I left mine black

I got the rack. 247.00 shipped to my door.


Question: Paint it the same color as the vehicle or leave it black?

I would be very interested in one. Just picked my 45 up.Lond trip that was.

the OEM is channel not tube, probably cheaper if made out of tube tho. I've got two metal/fab shops in town and I'll get a quote and see if its feasable to have a few made. Paul

 

[3_puppies]

neither fab shop in town can bend the radius needed. the rest is no problem.

Give me some #s and I will see what I can do for us. I would prefer the channel over the square tubing so give me the size of channel top, sides & gage along with all other #s to make this work.

82-40 PM me your email and I'll get some figures to you this weekend. Paul

Gonna need a headache rack at some point.

Whatever came of this thread? Did anyone figure out a way to reproduce the headache racks?

If not, does anyone have contact info for Vic at Hadley Industries mentioned above. I googled it and came up with a bunch of links in the UK.

Also, does anyone have close up pics of the rack from Hadley Industries? Is it made like the factory rack out of channel?

Thanks,
Marvin

 

[bull]
