[TR] Bracket for door post TR3A

[wbeech at flash.net]

Steve,

Andrew Prichard found one for me in a junkyard, I do not believe they are
available new from any source.  They do not look as it they would be too
hard to make if you are handy at that sort of fabrication.  Andrew, if you
are still on the list, would you mind another trip to the junkyard?

Another source that might be of service is:

OK List...here's another weird one for you.  I'm working on my '60 TR3A and
I need new brackets that mount on the door-posts...both of my brackets were
broken off decades ago.  These are the brackets that the "Door Check Assy" 
(Moss PN 803-600) attaches to so the door doesn't open too far.  There's one
bracket on each door, and each one appears to be bent out of a single piece
of metal, and welded to the door post from behind the fender (at least
that's my guess).

I'm thinking I might have to fabricate the parts myself.  I have a photo of
a supposed good bracket, but I am looking for more information before I
tackle the fabrication job:
1.  Does anyone know of a source for these parts?
2.  Have any of you fabricated one, and if so, do you have a template I
could copy?

Thanks in advance,
