soul-2-soul 3 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 The bracket that attaches my BMA to my engine broke last night. Assume this is a main dealer only part or has anyone got a spare one please? Link to post Share on other sites

soul-2-soul 3 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Got the original one of these last time & it has now broken again :-( Am I just unlucky or doing something wrong? Link to post Share on other sites
CALICO 130 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Mine has never broke maybe your engine mounts are useless causing to much wobbling on the airfilter maybe look at fixing it to the side of the wing instead Link to post Share on other sites
marky_boy 1 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 b&q shelf bracket (small one) will do the trick and cost pennys! Link to post Share on other sites

spadam 7 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Dont buy ally for that bracket as it will snap over time with the vibrations. My first bracket snapped after 4 months then paul parky made me one from steel and never had a problem after that. Link to post Share on other sites
soul-2-soul 3 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 b&q shelf bracket (small one) will do the trick and cost pennys!that reminds me this is the 2nd time it has broken as I used a B&Q bracket the first time & that broke within a couple of months so got the original bmc one after that which has lasted nearly 2 years before braking as well Link to post Share on other sites
