1967 Anti-Wrap-Up Snubber Brackets

Does anyone happen to have a single 1 or a set of S7MS-4095-A snubber brackets for sale or "for measurements!" I'm  trying to find a single or a set to buy to reproduce an accurate copy. Or if you have a set you could provide some measurements... that would be gold too. I've got a starter model that I print on my 3D printer but the end part will be foundry cast aluminum or cast iron, maybe nodular (if my pot can get that hot)

I've attached a graphic of the measurements I'm looking for. Please help if you can. Email is bbeardmore@carvizor.com

Yes a much needed part. Cast iron would be best but aluminum would be a cheaper second best alternative IMO.

I had 10 sets made about 20 years ago.  They were perfect in every way.  Sold them to Shelby Parts maybe try them if they have any left

NPD sells them without the engineering numbers and holes drilled in the side for some reason.

NPD doesn't have them have them and don't know when or if they will have them again.

I can't find it on their website so what do you mean by holes in the side? Got pictures?

They are still in their catalog. It looks like a 1/4 hole drilled into the side . But it is irrelevant given they don't have them now and nothing on the horizon at this time.

Are you sure the NPD rubber snubber is right? I seem to remember it as round and conical? You are go and make be crawl under the car?

No the snubber isn't (not even close), but the focus of the thread was the bracket and some of those shortcomings have been mentioned and I think that is why the link was shared.

There was a Guy at SAAC 51 last month who had a NOS set for sale. He was set up on the blacktop area. Not sure who he was but a little digging you can find out the names of all the vendors that paid to sell and narrow it down. Half his stuff he was selling was clothing.

It is ironic how some of the most obscure parts have become the most difficult to replace accurately.
Those S7MS id's in the casting are going to draw a lot of attention to someone who has them in a pile of obscure parts in the back of the garage.

So these are the same for right or left sides, and used only for 1967 cars?
If so that narrows the market quite a bit. Looks like Daniel Carpenter has the correct type of snubber,and AMK the hardware, the bracket Is the missing link. Are you thinking a simple sand cast
Would produce a good duplicate?? How many sets would you need to make it worthwhile?

Hi again,
Looks like there is a difference Left to Right. Must be in the arch, and without seeing some off the car, who knows what else we would discover. As they are thick and cast raw metal, they must get pitted, and rough looking with age. Why else would you need to replace them?? Can't help wondering who made them for Shelby as most parts were from around the L.A. area.
