Evening gang. I wanted to put out some feelers about having cast landing leg support brackets produced. I think a few of you guys may already be in the process or planning to in the future. If someone is already in the works of having the support brackets produced I don’t want to bother with it or step on anyone’s toes so please let me know.
In the mean time I have a friend who does casting/ 3D scanning. He gave me several options of making the bracket but the cost changes significantly from 3D scanned, to cast or even billet aluminum. Thanks to Kendall, I have a resin copy of the cast bracket I think will work as a example. . I don’t have an original. I could forge one for me similar but would like to get some of these out to guys needing them.
Any interest in these or concerns please reply. Basically I need to know if I should have 50 brackets made or several hundred. Or any at all.

Re: Putting the feelers out
I have been looking for one for several years now. Only part I am missing from a complete original trailer. Hope you get some made.

That and the stamped steel ones are on my to-do. I have originals of both and a Patternmaker's Guide textbook by my side. Just need to make the pattern and get it sent off to the foundry.
