I think Bill from antique Motorsports was making them. There’s also this guy that might be able to help you out

I got these unmachined brackets available.

Will take some work. They are just loose castings off of some original brackets

I'm working with someone, goal is to make a "one box kit" bolt on L/R lowering bracket set. Curious about what the market will bear for such a thing and if there is any interest in the product. Anyone?

Evening, I'd consider a set. Tried a gentleman on eBay that makes lots of neat bits, including these. Thanks!

This may help. Also bolts need to be made to replace the perches they are not a common size
