Crank Sensor Brackets - 2nd run planned - gauging interest
Turbo Mini Forums

As most of you know, up until about 18 months ago I was selling Crank Sensor Brackets that my mate Phil was making. Due to various reasons, mainly the amount of time they were taking, he had enough of doing them and so stopped.

We put the last one on ebay with no reserve just to see how it went, and to say we have been flooded with enquiries is an understatement. This has made Phil think about it and he is now seriously considering making another run of 10 off crank sensor brackets.

We sold the ones before at £35 posted, although this seemed OK at the start, material costs went up, postage cost went up, and Phil got pissed off at basically making them for bugger all.
So if this new run goes ahead, they will be for sale at £50 posted within the UK. Machined pulleys as before will also be available to go with the brackets.

Anyone who would be interested please make it known on this thread. If 7 or 8 people are seriously interested then it will make it worth buying material in and getting started. As before they will be TIG welded stainless steel.

Im sure you'll have no probs selling them Tom!

You could even whack a load on the bay, judging by the response of your last one you sold, im sure you'll have no problems shifting them!

Tom,

Can you post a picture of one fitted please. I'm having trouble with clearance with my existing one and my new alternator position.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

They're designed around the standard alternator. Where are you having problems with clearance?

Can i have one, please and a pulley machined.

Let me know if you go ahead with these, and i can send you the money, thanks martin

Some pictures for those of you that don't know what they look like.





The bracket on its own is painted mild steel. The new batch that from the responses so far looks very likely to go ahead will be all stainless.

Cost for the pulleys will be £35 as before.

One of the things that gave Phil a headache last time was people pressing for them to be ready, so all I'll say at the moment is that they will be done when they are done. With all this interest I expect he will get them underway soon though. Watch this space guys.

Do you want my pulley ??????

Rick

Bracket and pulley for me as well, please.
