Title: WTB: Lower Link bracket
Post by: Fotog on Friday,January 24, 2020, 08:18:09 AM

For my Aug. '72 Twin Cam.  Bracket is missing.  Manual shows 2 designs, for 'early cars' and 'late cars'.  I don't know if they require differing designs or they just came with them.  I think the latter, since it's unclear what is an early or late car.
 Some pix follow.

Thanks!  It appears that I need the style shown at the top of the drawing showing both kinds from the manual, for a 352 gearbox.  Agree?

The bracket does not locate the bolts, it merely supports them.  It would be easy to just make one.
