Any handy metal workers on here?

Postby Andrew G » Wed Dec 29, 2010 7:53 pm

Any handy 'smiths in the club? Or maybe more of an engineer or good DIYer job.

I'd like a new pair of arm rests (the cup bits for your forearms) for my tri bars made if anyone would be able to help can you pm me please. Basically it's 2 rectangular-ish metal plates with rounded edges and curved up at the two short ends to make a bit of a cup, then two or three accurately spaced pairs holes with countercunk edges so the bolts will sit flush.

Had a good search around for spares but can't find what I'm after. Happy to pay a skilled 'smith to do a custom job for me.

Thanks.

Thanks Paul but I need a 2 hole fixing. I looked earlier and those PX ones were out of stock, they must have found a pair in the drawer. I need the same front and rear type fixing as that, if someone has the PX bars would they mind measuring the distance between the f/r holes for me. I need 25mm c-c and taking an M4 bolt. Don't worry if not I'll call Cammish in the morning, always nice to talk to a legend.

Much appreciated.
