Hi All,BigGrin BigGrin

This is not a problem with the false keel, (already straightened the bow section LOL ),but I need some brackets to hold the false keel in it`s vertical position.

I am also building the SOTS and used 40mm metal brackets for the initial part of the build, but they had to be beaten into submission to be anywhere near a 90 degree angle, they were also non adjustable (ie coutersunk set position screw holes) as opposed to brackets with elongated slots to allow fine adjustment of the bracket position.

So my question is, does anyone know where I can purchase 8 - 10 brackets at a sensible price, that are also adjustable and accurate for my needs?

Thanks in anticipation BigGrin

Regards

If you go to wickes Del and look in their roof framing section,they have some small galvanised brackets that have slotted holes and they have a rib pressed in the corner that keeps them square.Hope this helps.
Kind Regards Nigel
