Looking small replacement parts: rear tail light attachment piece

[Blueberry]

I'd call peter white and see if he can help you. He has all sorts of light mounts - how does that piece attach, anyway? Seems like you would have to weld it on?

It attaches through the tiny holes on the top with a screw/nut/bolt

Could you make one from a stainless steel blank from a hardware store? SS blanks come in all sizes, and are pretty easy to cut or drill. I fashioned a fender bracket from one.

Ah - that makes sense

I wonder if you could use a rack support - lots of racks come with multiple supports, and my lbs usually has lots of them left over...

Good luck!

What are these things of which you speak? Where would I find one (hardware store, bike store, etc)?

They're just little strips of stainless steel, about 12" long, and in different widths and gauges. My fender bracket is made from a 1/2"-wide piece. My local hardware store has them over with the screws and bolts and such. I would think that Home Depot or Lowes would have them as well, but I don't know exactly where in a store that big.

Ah, I see. So they bend readily? The part I'm looking for is quite bendy

Thanks!

Yep, depending on the width and gauge, of course.
