There only the end clamps young fella.

Luke, come see me when your next on break, I have a set that I can loan, also have a few metal stamping companies that you can go see. Expensive bit will be milling the die halves for the stamping, but we may be able to sort that out also.

You'd be surprised what you can get away with if you only want to make a few sets. I've made quite a few hand press tools for prototype stuff.. They don't need to be super elaborate.

The brackets are real hard to come by. I made one set of the straps for them by hand for a member here who had the main part but not the smaller strap part.

When I've got time I was thinking of trying to re-design the mounts to using some more available clamping mechanism.

That will be awesome thanks Grant. If i get a couple of sets machined up does anyone else want a set, the more i do the cheaper it will probably be???

i need a sway bar first

I'd probably take a couple of sets. Most of the after market sway bars don't come with these brackets.

[Volksee77]

tell me about it hey Peter, i'll get a few sets made up, (one for Grant since he's supplying the goods) 2 for me (it always pays to have spares and how many did you want Peter? They will purely be at cost, not looking to make a cent of these as it sucks they are not available genuine any more.

[Peter Jones]

2 sets please.

I made these bits for JP_AIrcooled_TDI by hand with hammers, files, drill and a hacksaw. He at least had the other bits.

I've got a genuine GTI bar on one car with these brackets, the white car I'm racing has an old whiteline bar which mounts very differently.

[Peter Jones]

I think I'll move this thread back to the MK1 section soon as it's stopped being a classified and turned into a remanufacturing thread.

For the sake of the conversation and to give the bits some names and numbers we can use.

Here's a set for sale in the UK and I happen to recognise the seller as a member here that goes by the name of youngtimer if anyone wants to reach out to the UK.

no worries pete transfer away mate, Grant i'm back on Monday mate but gotta sort some stuff out so thursday?????

[roccodingo]

Thursday or after will be cool Luke,
I am more interested in keeping them OEM looking so we can modify the original bracketry same way VW did it, the goal being to be able to sell em as original sway bar brackets.
