Fabricating a bracket.

[northwind]

What are you up to bigape? Going with clipons?

Yup.

Clipons are already on. The clocks were on a bracket which was left over from the curvy clocks. Unfortunately the bracket doesn't work with the 's' top yolk so I need to think of something else.

Either that or put the old naked top yolk back on. Would prefer the 's' top yolk though as it looks much neater.

Can't you drill and tap the S yoke?

In a word, no.

If you're only going to use 2mm ally what about attaching it to the top yoke using the bolts that hod the clipons in place? The clocks aren't that heavy are they?

I've thought of this and will probably use this option. I assume you mean the two small bolts that prevent the clipons from moving round the forks rather than the bolts that hold the clipons on. That's what I did with the naked top yolk but the bolt holes are located at the closer end to where the clocks will be mounted and closer together. The clock is the naked pointy one. Heavier than other naked clocks I have had experience with. It's the vibrations that I think will cause metal fatigue.
