Hi all, would anyone have the above they'd like to part company with, it's for the rear brake calliper mounting bracket and it's the outer one I need, I can get one from Ducati but I'm loathed to pay £37 !!! FFS !!!! Cheers Si
I had the same issue recently when Ducati wanted £650 for a radiator. I decided to go down the route of a Chinese one for £56. Why don't you order a Chinese top hat, although they do look like this......
That's right Al, it's #40 in the diagram, unfortunately I don't know the dimensions, but 37 quid is a piss take !! So frustrating, I only need it to have the back end finished
Good thought, but would need to be in steel I think - 38 and 40 bear on each other, and the bearing areas may not be sufficiently large if done in alloy Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk
If that is a floating bracket/plate, steel will wear the ally unless there is another fixed bush in the bracket/plate; which there appears to be according to the parts manual - I guess that one is phosbronze.
I think I would tend to bite the bullet and buy it Simon, I can think of several machinists and the one I trusted last (in Woking) I can confidently say would ask £25 to make it , Plus you've got to drive there twice not to mention generating an accurate, toleranced drawing correctly, and then trusting that the chat making it will do so correctly. I hope you notice that I am laying down the gauntlet here for others to say it isn't so and then we can ask them where they can get it made cheaper/ convenient journey time.
Quite right Chris............although there is another solution............ ....remember where you put it when you took it out.
Si, If someone can supply a sketch with dimensions I can turn one up for you, have a good size lathe, steel or possibly stainless if I have the diameter metal in stock. Mine is a 93, not underslung so can't measure it myself. Mike
Have to say I agree with @Arquebus, I should've kept a closer I on things during the move but hey ho, I've ordered a new one which turned up today but I'm in the Isle of Wight at the mo so can't get it for a few days then it's chain in brakes together and on and a few faffy bits so not much longer
