JSmall- Sorry, I didn't mean to insult your efforts. I understand you've been working at this and I'm still interested. I truthfully know nothing about fab work. I think you have the right idea... make a handful, put a price on them, and people will buy. Like others have said, look at your costs, put a markup on them, and sell away!

No apologies needed. Im not too worried about it. I'll come up with a price after I get the production cost of the bracket and if they don't sell, not a big deal.

Good grief -- a simple rectangle battery tray is $30!!! This thing is easily a $50+ part!

I'm still on the list. Make a profit on these, it's how it's supposed to be and we get the benefit of your industry. I can't make one, I'm happy to buy yours!

Sounds good guys!

Jaromy,
Can't remember if this has been discussed or not, but you might also see if one of the vendors would be interested in licensing the design from you and producing/selling them while paying you a royalty.

I thought about that. I need to get them done and see where the cost comes in at.

I'm interested in one

We are getting closer. There are a few more things that need to be tweaked and then we will have a few cut for some local guys to mount up so we can get some feedback. Thanks for your patience

HOLY COW that's so much better than the wood spacers I have behind my combo tank. Please take my money!

Serious awesomeness.

Looks good! Should work well, does it attach to the lower fender?

We have a few ideas for the secondary attachment point. Thinking about a separate smaller bracket that will bolt between the inner fenders and bracket. Neither of us have fenders attached to our Bronco's so we need to find someone local to test this out.

I'm right up here in Washington be glad to buy and test it!!

I am looking to use the same reservoir and would be interested in a bracket as well. one thing i don't understand is I appear to have a triangular brace that run right thru the area the reservoir wants to occupy.
my 1st question, is this brace stock or added by a previous owner (looks stock to me).
if stock, did you guys remove them or was it a year to year difference. some had them some didn't...

I think that brace is a '77 only item.

We are still working on it. Both of us are busy right now so we don't get together as often as we would like. I will have an update soon
