I am looking for mounting hardware for a stone guard I purchased for my 833, It appears I need a new neck on my radiator top as well as the two brackets that bolt to the head light cross member.
If any one can point me in the right direction id appreciate it

You just missed out on a set that just finished on ebay.

Henry Yeska used to have 'em, as well as the stone guards themselves. I would give his grandson a call. 484-764-6351

Also, you shouldn't need to to get a new neck, unless your current one is broken.

thanks for the input, i have reached out to Henry and i cant believe I missed that on ebay, Ive been doing regular searches but I guess Im not entering the correct information to get it to pull up.
I appreciate your feed back!

I hunted for a set like those on EBay and couldn't find any. So I was getting ready to make a pair out of mild steel, but decided to research the matter some more. I came across another approach for mounting the stone guard (see attached photos) om another car.

I made these out of brass flat bar (1/8" x 1"). The bolt hole for the radiator bracket is slotted to allow for pulling the stone guard tightly against the radiator shell. The straps were bent inward slightly to accommodate the difference in width between the guard and the radiator. After everything was correctly fitted they were sent out for plating.

thank you for the info and pics, is there a change you cn get me a few more pics so I can understand better how its connected?
I have an 833 convertible coupe with the stone guard and its brackets seem to be very different. I like yours they seem pretty simple to make from what I can tell.
my personal email if you wish to send them there is barrywlowe@gmail.com
thanks again for your help!
