breaks for t-bar equipped nimbus 29

You do need to be able to find or make a piece of angled metal of the right dimensions with two holes in it that are the right sizes and in the right positions. Chances are you’ll need cutting and drilling tools. For mine I had some pieces laying around that had the holes in the right places but needed to cut one side down and also needed to drill one of the holes larger.

Here are a few posts from the thread I linked that show the parts:

OK, finally got arround to figuring out how to post pictures (not that it took much effort, but I’d been lazy about it), so here goes. I also considered using channel, and actually have a piece that fits over the maggie mounts perfectly. However, it didn’t leave me enough width to put in the little hole for the spring retension, so I went with the plain angle. The black on the angles is just some electrical tape to prevent rubbing, which seems to be adequate because there is no movement once…
