powerbronze lowers fitting question

[agentpineapple]

cheers chris, it certainly looks like the wrong bracket, i'll ask tony if he has one. and i'll try and get hold of the bolt for the bracket behind the sidestand....

It's the correct bracket, but yopurs has been bent through 90 degrees. Bend it back up so that it looks like the one in Chris' picture.

But if it snaps, yes, I have a set.

Usually because the engine was taken out but the bracket was left on it.
If you look a secondhand engines on ebay the brackets are often bent at strange angles.

Alternatively it's because some previously had another bellypan and bent the bracket to fit.

seriously tho, are you calling me a bender

Having another look at your photo Marty I think Tony could be right. It might be easier though to leave the bracket as it is (rather than risking it snapping off) and just fabricate a longer Powerbronze bracket. It's only really a piece of flat bar bent 90* with a twist in it (very easy to do in a vice) with a hole/slot in each end.

Sorry mate hadn't noticed it was bent out shape etc what a bloody pisser, those brackets was off the ebay engine and mine was in better condition so swapped parts that was cosmetically better looking off mine onto this engine like cam covers, brackets etc

and the standard small pan fittings ARE used - see the PDF Powerbronze fitting instructions uploaded & linked to a while back

3) Bolt bracket VTR LF to the front belly pan mount VTR R/H to the right side belly pan mount and bracket VTR LL/H to the inside of the side stand mounting...using M10 bolts ...with washers as spacers.
