Torpedo firewall bracket

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
