Torpedo firewall bracket

Post by AndreFordT » Fri Jun 02, 2023 1:40 am

Hi All,

I am working on a 1911 Torpedo.
To do the job right I am looking for the firewall to frame bracket set.
In the parts catalog from Chaffin's Garage I found the part number for these brackets 3640/41T.
Since a few days I am trying to contact them for asking if they have them in stock but can't get an answer.

Maybe somebody out there can help me with that.

Thanks

Hi Andre

I have an original pair (not for sale - for my Torpedo). If you can't get them and need dimensions to make them, I can help.

Andre,

I responded to your post last year on this with a few dimensions. https://www.mtfca.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=26704

Let me know if I can be of any other help with dimensions or anything else. I had detailed engineering drawings made for these brackets.

Thanks Austin,
I couldn't find this post.
Do you have other messurment about these brackets?

I think the only way to do this right is to make the brackets myself but there for I will need good drawings.

Thanks

Andre, I just talked to Dave at Chaffins and he has ONE set of those brackets in stock. I'm not sure if you were using the New Number and allowed for the time difference? Chaffins new number is 1-951-226-7331, New address518 N Spring St Lake Elsinore, Ca. 92530

Hope this helps
