The first prototype TH brake brackets are done! I had both LH and RH versions of these made. They will be released for production Tue or Wed, I should have them in 2-3 weeks depending on machine shop schedule.
Once I get the order I will have my final pricing information and figure out what I’m going to sell them for. I will have 2 prices, one here and a higher one on ebay if I have any left over. I will offer them here first because this is the place for mini bike enthusiasts. I greatly appreciate the spirit of preserving the past on OBM, if it wasn’t for OldMiniBikes members I wouldn’t be making these.
To make this part someone here kindly loaned me good original parts to copy. We took measurements by hand and then generated a CAD file for the part. The CAD file is necessary to setup the laser cutter. The parts were then laser cut and then mig welded. Powder coating is also available however these were not powder coated to keep them like the originals.
Now, I’m thinking ahead of what is next. I prefer to make something that can be laser cut and mig welded. I’m looking for something that allot of people need that nobody else is making to help fill a void in the hobby. I prefer something were we can make 50-100pcs of. Please let me know if you have any ideas on what I should make next.
PS I don’t have a final price yet, but I’m sure it will be reasonable enough that it won’t stop anyone who needs them from buying them. I’m not going to make allot of money on these that’s not why I’m doing this….enjoy.
