OK...I'll ask the stupid question. Why were these things always made in resin/plastic that was not very load bearing and eventually cracked. Why were they not made from some form of metal from the outset? There must be some reason otherwise I would have thought the repros should have been metal too..they seem to be perspex which I would have though would have similarly (bad) qualities..

They'd cost a fortune to cast in metal, I reckon. Bear in mind they're under compression, so the original bakelite ones are probably strong enough for the job they're intended for. Obviously they have no shear strength worth a squirt, but when fitted, even cracked ones still work OK.

I have grey plastic ones they are about 9 years old seem to be holding up to my 130KG,s ok.
I cut them out on the water jet.
My set were cut out by hand.
I have some 10 mm grey plastic in the rack at work if i get a few intrested people i will cut some sets is this thick enough???
Or 6mm alloy probably not thick enough but thats the thickest alloy i stock.

Pete could make them in 2 sets of 6mm and put one on top the other for the 1/2" required.

i will see how much a sheet of 12mm alloy is. The ones on ebay appear to be lexan which is brittle polycarbonate is a lot softer we bend that in the press or would everyone prefer alloy? If so i will work out a cost per set would rather do them 1 piece rather than cut 2 sets and sticking them together that looks bodgy. I will get dimensions off my set but they not original and would prefer someone to take the time to draw me the dimensions and the radiuses exact for the corners i can get hole centres off my seat but if someone has a set can they trace them on a piece of A4 and dimension it and fax it to Mallaby Sheetmetal ATTN; Pete fax 02 6574 6311 or E mail mallaby@idl.com.au |

My question would be,what was their purpose in the first place?Why weren't the mounts 1/2" taller?Was it some form of wear strip or vibration medium?Anyway,the nylon cutting board is actually a brilliant idea as this type of nylon is generally not brittle as such.Jamie. |

I thought that they were optional and a method of raising the bench for height-challenged folk such as myself. This (plus breakage) is why they are not always present? |
