leversole Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Looking for a couple of part numebrs, maybe someone can help...I am putting a new (DM, R Style) battery box on my truck...currrently there is a homemade box that is part of the air tank mount...What I am looking for are the airtank brackets that bolt to the frame and support the air tank...they look like angle iron with one leg cut down.Also, looking for numbers for the spacers for the battery box that spaces it off of the frame to make room for the above mentioned brackets. If I still had my lathe, I could make them in about ten minutes, but I do not..Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! This stuff shouldnt be this hard! Why don't you use a 5/32nds slice wheel to cut the angle leg down? You could also have a piece bent at a sheet metal shop, or weld it up and grind it smooth. Spacers? Get some cored stock with the correct external diameter and band, or chop saw to the correct length.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

leversole Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Probably will end up slicing some regualr angle iron...though it doesnt look as good as the Mack ones with the nice radius bend! Spacers I will make... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacers I will make...I've made those angle before; do you have a rosebud tip for a torch? A good vice and heat with a small piece of round stock is pretty easy to form most any radius.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

yarnall Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Did you see what you need on anything at my house? I can cut it off for you. Thanks for posting the pictures. The B615 looks great. I love the hard noses. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfymn Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I recently bought a Milwaukee skill type saw designed for cutting metals so I could fabricate a soft sleeve holder http://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-6370-21-8-Inch-Cutting-Circular/dp/B0000WUQI4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333460819&sr=8-1. It would do a great job of cutting one angle down.I am really impressed by this tool. It cut a sheet of 12 gauge mild steel like it was going through 1/4" plywood. Or you could weld a new piece to the correct sized flat stock and grind the weld to make it look like it is one piece.One other option is to write the Mack Museum for a copy of the shop drawing of the part in question. They supplied me with a complete shop drawing of the hose holder and the leather strap assembly for the holder. Send them a part number and they may surprise you.
