Model 99 pot supports

i need a set of pot supports for a model 99. I've been looking off and on for nearly a year. Any suggestions? How difficult would it be to fab a set? What rod stock would I need?

 

as luck would have it I found a 99 at a car boot recently - incomplete but I am still thrilled as I have been after one for ages


these are the pot supports
wire about 3mm thick - squares on paper 5mm by 5mm

 

Hi @David Bickmeier , Welcome to CCS. Making a set of pot supports should be relatively easy, now that @Rickybob has provided the "plans".
Here is a link which should help. It is for much more complicated bends on classic stove legs, but the principles are the same:

One of the best ideas is to support the rod you want to bend in a close fitting tube. This helps you to make tight bends.

Good Luck and take photos to show us how you got on.
Best Regards,
Kerophile.

 

Thanks for the post. Tent pegs. go Figger

 

Finally, I've found a source. Would it be possible to purchase a set of poot supports for a Opimus 99? What steel stock should I look for to fab a couple myself?

 

I have a tool for the 8, not sure if the 99 have the same potlegs

Thank you Kerophile, bad news for David... The legs are completely different.

But they seems easy to manufacture, almost square

 

Hi @kok I sent the two links so that he can see that.
Perhaps @Doug Imrie could provide the dimensions of the legs for him?

Best Regards,
Kerophile.

 

Apologies, not been on here for a few days… here you go; the diameter is 3mm, other dimensions below in photos… if you need anything else just shout.



Part number is 2026

 

Many Thanks,
George (Kerophile)
