It was trivial putting in on, but it sure looks good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After a couple of trials by cutting, marking and folding, I arrived at this pattern for the bracket to hold the trigger wheel sensor. I marked it out on a piece of 16ga mild steel and cut it out with my benchtop bandsaw. I will attempt to never use anything else for cutting out this kind of stuff. It was fast and easy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I proceeded to bend it into shape. As is often the case, the first bend was the easiest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The next bend pretty easy, too. In my original plan, this bend would be 90 degrees, then the end would be cut to about 3\/16″ to serve to stiffen the bracket in this dimension. Once the bend was made, however, I could not find a good way to make the third bend to my spec. I decided to fold the second bend flat, which will still stiffen the piece. Then the third bend was easy.<\/p>\n

I cut a slot in the side brace and drilled the two top holes. It took a bit of grinding and tweaking to make it fit properly, as I expected since the pattern was made from very thin stock, compared to the final material.<\/p>\n

I am pretty happy with the final bracket. A shot of Krylon X-Metals converter and purple paint and it’s done. I would have painted the distributor plug, but I can’t seem to find it tonight. Story of my life… \":)\"<\/p>\n
