Truss Rod Brackets

[Chainmaker2]

I've found a few threads regarding DIY truss rods. I'm looking for just some good pics/specs of different upper and lower brackets. (Iwork in a machine shop and the CAD guy and sheet metal guy are gonna draw and burn some for me)... any drawings/specs out there? Pic for no particular reason.

Thank You

I like the Elgin or Monarch style that I just refer to as dog ears. Keeps everything tucked up nice and close

If you could do a couple for a 1.125 steerer I'd be interested

Thank You ...I just bought a set like that from ebay to copy, I'd like to get a couple others done as well.

I've made a few tries on truss-rods and crowns for my Roadmaster build, here is one of them:

I have been able to perfectly replicate the original ones since then using laser cutter and i can share cad files with you if you want.

What gauge material are you using?

 

[Starnger]

3mm stainless steel for the crown and 8mm stainless rod.

I was thinking 12ga for the bracket, thanks for the details

That would be great, the guys are going to do it on their breaks so it wont be the fastest getting them burnt.

Here is the file for CWC crown.
Google preview of a dxf is a little simplified But should open well in any cad software

Yes sir. Just popped it open in Glovius and it looks great.
