TC spare wheel carrier lower clamp

Several people have asked about availability for the forward half of the clamp that holds the TA/TB/TC spare wheel bracket to the center of the round chassis cross tube. I'll call this the TC rear carrier clamp. I can get this half clamp made , but we need to find at least 10 people interested. So see note below and let me know any interest.

No problem getting the clamps made, just a problem getting enough interest to justify a batch, minimum 10. Cost might be $30.00 US$ each. These would be water jet cut out of a piece of 3/4" thick mild steel, probably ASTM 1020, hand ground rounded corners and two drilled 11/32" holes for clearance for the 5/16" BSF bolts. So a close match to the original cast piece.
Save money by rounding the corners and drilling the holes yourself, price is $20.00 US$ each. I can supply a pair of 5/16" BSF bolts and lock washers if required. Mailing extra. Please advise interest as we need to find a few more buyers to make this work.
Thanks, Bob Please call or email your interest 905-274-4136 or grunau.garage@sympatico.ca

Hi Bob, I was the one that started this on the Mg exp forum. I was able to get the clamp part I needed from Doug Pelton. Hopefully some other people need clamps and it will be a worthwhile project for you.
Thanks
Ken
