Front Spring Perches

Anyone know of anyone that offers these in different sizes ? Need one for a 2 1/2 front tube.

If there's a welding shop near you they should be able to make one

 

Make a cardboard patern of what you need and take it to the nearest trade school or high school metal shop cl***. Oh, and when they ask, it's a support bracket for some kind of farm equipment.

 

k,,I'm guessing 3" is some kind of standard size..

 

Yep, 3" is pretty much the standard. I forget the numbers, but the torsional strength of 3" tube is like exponentially better than even 2 1/2". I bet the engineers could explain it in detail.

And where, pray tell, did you ever find any "2 1/3" " tube? In fact, where did you even find a ruler that would measure in "thirds"? Did you mean "2 1/2" " or "2 1/4" "? If you used a dial caliper you may have seen 2.375 which is 2 3/8.

 

No Dale just a typo

 

I'd guess there's enough metal in the vertical sides of the Speedway bracket you referenced to cut a 1.25" radius out of it and still have sufficient structural integrity for a sensible size/weight motor.

 

You could just radius the corners a bit and this should work fine:

 

Chy, you still looking? if you are, pm me.
