ChrisTasmania Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 The top support for the boot stay has gone walkabout during the restoration. Just a little bracket that screws to the boot inner stiffener/support and then receives the top end of the telescopic stay. I can't even remember what it looks like.. Would need to post to Tasmania. Any help appreciated! Cheers Chris, price etc. to; cherry32@bigpond.net.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 its just a crude l shaped bracket not very special Im sure you an diy something fits between the cross brace and the lid where the two screws bolt it all together pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68vitesse Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Doesn't look right to me. Regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Seller says it was original and in excellent condition, but sold for £3.70 in any case. No more for sale at present but I'll keep a look out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisTasmania Posted November 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Thanks everyone, that must be what it is, though having never seen one, I didn't know what I hadn't got! Paul, thanks especially for the photo, and I will have a go at fabricating one, if it doesn't turn up on here for sale. I think Canleys want a substantial sum for theirs.

Peter Truman Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Chris did you get the emailed photo of my bracket and the 3 section drawing of it with dimensions & the 10 degree skew of the short leg can attach to forum if reqd.

PeteH Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 If your not after 100% originality, then suitable length Gas struts can be repurposed. I believe they actually do conversion kits? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
