Brackets to hold top frame on a BE

[Jim_Gruber]

I had metal repairs done to both sides of the bulkhead on Bugsy II with new metal welded in back there. Isn't there supposed to be a bracket / open pipe of some type back there that the top frame slides into. I think it gets secured somehow on top with a leather strap.

Can someone provide me with pics on what this us supposed to look like and dimensions/ location if possible so I can weld something in back there that is a close facsimile to original. Here's what I've got on both sides after the repair.

They are just little sheet metal boxes with a hole in the top. Also some rubber bumpers to keep them from rattling. Seems like someone posted a pattern once.

Hi, If nobody posts a pic of the little boxes by tomorrow, I'll be able to take one and post it.

Thanks guys. I can't remember what these look like. A pattern would be sweet.

Jim, no 15 in this picture is the storage bracket for the top frame when down. The actual top brackets are located just behind the door catches on the inside of the b pillar.

Thanks Paul,

It's either fabricate or spend $20.05 each. Anyone got a drawing?

Jim,
I may have an old one at home and will send it to you next week. Mine were in bad shape, but they may be useful for a pattern.

Thanks Rut. Let me know, I won't be ready for that for a while.

I have a couple of serviceable spares.

Ray,

how much do you want for them? PM me and we can make a deal.

thanks for the pics but I don't think I have that bar running across under the back deck. I believe the entire rear clip was replaced at some time in the past prior to ownership by the P.O. Perhaps that wasn't replaced. If not I'm sure I could tack something in place to support a strap. I need to look tomorrow and take some pics of my spelunking in the boot. Thanks again.

[Jim_Gruber]

Ray,

i want them. I sent you a PM wth address. Let me know how much and I'll put a check in the mail.

 

[Rut]

Jim, I found an extra bracket if you have additional needs.

Ray,

Got the brackets this PM in the mailbox when I got home. I'll PM you. Great parts. Thanks for such great service.

 

[Jim_Gruber]

Thanks to Ray Evans Bugsy II now has another ex-WhiteFrog part I will be using. Thanks again Ray. Looking for dimensions and distances to correctly mount the top frame brackets. Can anyone provide a mounting picture with dimensions. Thanks.
