Searching for Servo Mounting Brackets for an Accucraft Ruby, only locating sellers from years ago that have since closed shop.

So ask Accucraft for a list of current suppliers / repair agents..

I tried that route no luck there.

It shouldn't be too difficult to fabricate one from a bit of metal. I would suggest get in touch with the 16mm Association, bug I'm not sure if that would be much use to you over there

I made servo brackets quite easily using L apsheps aluminum strip for my 00 point operating ones. A bit of work with a junior hacksaw, drill and file should be a relatively simple lead into learning some metal work.

You could try a model shop which sells boats, cars and aeroplanes for something suitable....

Not to everyone's liking, but you could try ebay?

Would this help?

Brass tube can be difficult to bend, as it is quite hard and can't really be Annesley (softened). Copper is much easier to bend, but needs to be annealed first. This is done by heating it to a medium red and then letting it cool down. Using a pipe-bending spring like the ones @Monty suggests will stop the pipe from kinking or narrowing on the bend.

I was going to suggest but Monty beat me to it, i take his point re brass tube which explains why the pipe runs in our scale live steam engines appear to be all copper tube?

 

[Paul M]

Yep, easier to bend, and a few other properties involving heat that someone cleverer than me will be able to explain
