Cycle wing brackets

Anyone know where I can get some ready made cycle wing brackets that bolt onto Cortina uprights using the disc splash guard holes?
I made some but they are shite and I'm fed up fannying about!
Cheers
Jon

I got mine from Luego. They bolt to the three Cortina splash guard holes. There is a picture of them in my archive. Buy the locost ones rather than the Velocity/Viento which are for Sierra hubs.

They're not that far from you either.

Hi DavidM

I found the Picy in your Archive.

Please some more close up so one can manufacture something similar and see how they mount to the upright. Looks like some spacers are used.

Thanks

We got ours from Lolocost, can't remember the price but they are solid ... no really.

We've done over 5,000 miles and I've run the same one into a bush and a wall and it's still solid

Mine came from Luego, broke after less than 500 miles welded them up and doubled the thickness of the flat metal section been OK since but Ithink I may make my own replacements.

Bolted to the upright using 3 caphead bolts. I cut tubular spacers to suit. I'll have a look to see if I've any more photo's.

I think they were £28 at a show, but I notice they are now listed on the Luego website at £40.

Can't remember how much they wer

I live in SA!

I have to make the stuff. Postage is double the value of the item and then I have to wait a month before the stuff gets here. I save the VAT but have to pay duty (usually 50% of the vatue of the item)

Some scetches will also be fine with some material specs.

Thanks
