  • Maybe @gbj_tester can help me out here, I currently have the light bracket pictured below, but would like to make one out of some sheet metal rather than round as the bracket will be mounted between the fork crown and a caliper brake, so want it to be as slim as possible, whilst being sturdy enough to hold the light steady.
    So, what thickness would be suitable, and what metal (stainless, brass, another)?
    I have access to a bench vice and other workshop tools to aid cutting and bending.

  • what thickness would be suitable, and what metal

    Stainless steel flat stock with the same stiffness as the current twin rods. The formulae for planar 2nd moments of area for common shapes are readily found online.
