g5k Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Does anyone have any suggestion for where to get one made in Australia? I need one made at less than standard width. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amigas Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Could you get a metal fabricator to cut and shut it and linish out the weld ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1966 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Since we’re on the subject of lockdown bars does anyone know where I can get a spare red lockdown bar for my Kiss LE, have been doing a Google search and can’t really find one.

g5k Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Anyone know what the paint finish Stern uses on their black stuff is? I’ll probably finish in something close to that if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1966 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Buy a standard one and get it powdercoated? I want the Colour to match the rest of the trim and the powder coaters can’t match it correctly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegrunta666 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I had custom made ones for battle pinny, but to cut and shunt a regular one would probably be the best option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razorsedge Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I have one of those Australian reproduction lockdown bars I bought for my Dracula. I wish I hadn't bought it, the production quality is Awful!. The pressing on the top surface to clear the side rails is third rate (at best). I will not be using it, was a complete waste of money. You can cut that up if you like? So I assume you want the latches the same distance apart so it can fit a standard lock assembly? ... if so it may need to be cut into three and Shut at either end so the latches are still central and correctly spaced. Or is the latch going to be cut and shut everywhere as well? ... or some other plan? - - - Updated - - - I was thinking that was an option wasn’t sure how successful it would be. Depends whom welds it and their proceedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still working on a locking solution but will figure something out as the smaller cabinet didn’t have room to accomodate a proper locking mechanism.

razorsedge Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Cool. Do the same with each latch component. Reducing length exactly the same amount that you reduced the bar (within +/- 0.5mm or so). That aught to work sweet, and be fairly straightforward. 1mm is boilermaker tolerances so whomever welded and/or cut it shouldn't have too much trouble. Solved :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
