I guess there are bunch of places that can make something like that. I just don't know any of them. I need a few steel L and Z shape bracket for an oil cooler support. Any good inexpensive places close to Santa Clara?

I've found that: Custom Metal Brackets | eMachineShop

 

Can you be more specific on what you need made?

Better yet, just pm me. I will help you out.

 

Just a few L and Z shape mount brackets with holes (made from steel, not aluminum). I have exact dimensions that I can send to you in a few hours.

 

Shouldn't be too hard, I can likely fab that up with just hand tools. Is there a reason why you want Steel and not Aluminum?

 

If I were to guess, one of the reasons would be the strength and heat dissipation properties in steel are slightly superior to those of the same specs in aluminum.
Perhaps it has something to do with the material in the oil cooler.
Of course, it might be because different grades of steel are cheaper...and we all know how cost conscious some people are...especially those who can't be bothered driving more than 5 miles for the product.

 

This is wrong, sorry dude. Aluminum is by far superior to Steel in this regard. Ever see anyone make a Steel radiator? now that said Brass is superior to Aluminum, I would love to find a shop to custom build my FXT a solid brass (caps and core) radiator, but...$$$$$.

However for a bracket that is not really a concern to ether side. Really from the sound of it, without seeing the pictures, all this needs is some plumbers tape, some self tapping bolts, and a little planning.

 

Thanks for the link to emachineshop, been looking for something like that.

 

Seriously. If you need brakets... I work at a sheetmetal shop... I can knock out whatever you need...

 

I can vouch for Him, the shop can pretty much make anything you want.
just watch when doing custom oval gaskets. ;-) LOL

 

Yeah... Don't make me come in on a Saturday... I might go full retard and forget how to measure lmao.

 

Sorry, didn't send you dimensions yesterday but I will! They are metric though but I can recalculated if that matters.

Other oil cooler setups are using steel bracket. That's why I chose steel. I guess aluminum is also easier to bend.

 

Whenever you have time. Steel or aluminum doesnt matter to me. Aluminum is more likely to crack... I can work with metric...

 

lol

 

Norcalbro, PM sent!

Thank you!

 

Like a pre runner bumper for an F150?
