Anyone have a source for them? Or maybe a nice supply and you wouldn't mind parting with 20 or so?
After having to make eight the other day, and with some more rack builds coming up, I sure could use the timesaver.

Some one made rack tabs from steel sheet (with a water jet I think). I bought a handfull and haven't used them yet. They might have been sold through the Framebuilders List, check those archives. I like a bit more threading engagement then a sheet source provides, as well as the stand off nature of a boss brazed to a strip. It's a lot of work for something so small. But then that's why we do this instead of buying off the shelf. Andy.

Andy,
I bought a handfull of those tabs a couple years ago too. Unfortunately the fellow that had them cut decided not to make another batch. I've been doing the standoff attachments too, but I like the tabs better for most projects...I'm just tired of cutting the little bastards out ;)
Jonathan,
Thanks for looking, I appreciate it.
Funny, I though of you yesterday when I was sorting paints trying to pick a green I liked, almost went with the Cannondale again...almost.
Are you looking for something like this?

The "rack lugs" and the "tombstones" are 100% the way to go!

I worked with Alex Wetmore to have a bunch made to his spec, but at a much more competitive price then his first run. If he has no interest in making them, I can run another batch if there is interest.
I'll look into it. I need to have some other stuff cut anyway-I'll post details if Alex is cool with it.
Sounds like it's a go. Get in touch with how many you think you might want, and I can get rough pricing. If I remember they are in the ball park of $1 each, but that will depend on quantity.
Cool- that gets the ball rolling. I'll solicit on the FB list and get details out, probably later in the week. Still need to sketch up my other part before heading over there. Stay tuned!
I'll take 20.
thanks
Anybody interested in stainless also?
