Landing leg bracket measurements

Post by reeg » Wed Mar 17, 2021 11:27 am

Does anyone have the missing mysterious landing leg bracket? If so, would it be possible to post a few measurements from one. I’d like to fabricate my own. Swiped the picture from online.

Or if someone has the bracket they’d trust me with to borrow. If I have luck making one from steel I’ll produce a few extras.

Another item on our to-do list. Sadly I'm out of town for a while. We have both cast and stamped examples and want to reproduce both.

Hi Reese,
I don't have one you could borrow, but I made a cast of mine in resin (the white one on the right :wink: Its an exact copy) that I would sell for $20 plus shipping and then you could fabricate your own out of steel.

Or if anyone else is looking for a replica (I do not think the resin one would be sturdy enough for actual use but it would fill the gap while the trailer is sitting with the landing leg on the ground) I could make some more.
Thanks,
Kendall
