kramttocs Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Update: the two brackets are the same. I thought there was a slight angle mine didn't have but when comparing the photos more closely that isn't the case. Looking for this bracket. Pic of Gary's (the one I need): vs the one I have that is wrong: This is the 1980 style (Z bracket): But I am wanting the 81/on style like Gary has. Thanks!

kramttocs Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 Hopefully they have it! They did have it and were nice enough to send me some photos. Unfortunately it looks the same as mine. I guess the one I have and Gary's are the same and maybe Gary's is slanted in the slots (the edge you can't see). That's my only idea. I'll put some clips in the core support and see if slanting it is the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the RH/Main battery one. I need a mirror image of that After seeing the photo from NOS Parts it has to be something with my setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Let me go back through my pics. I may have mine with a part number showing before I PC'd it. I'm not finding a pic with the part number or even and ID #. But I did find this pic which shows the main battery stay on the top and the aux battery stay on the bottom.

But I did find this pic which shows the main battery stay on the top and the aux battery stay on the bottom. Much appreciated Gary! I couldn't find anything on mine either. I think it's flipped though: Main: bottom. It steps down and is angled toward the fender Aux: top. It steps up Last question for you and them I may just make a z brace like the 1980. Could you take a photo a little further back showing the back(core support) edge? Wondering if I should just expect to angle it more than I am.
