Here's a picture of a scrap chassis showing the bracket.

Slightly OT
I've noticed that a lot of people mount the brake switch on top of the bracket.
I always assumed that bracket was there to protect the switch. Any thoughts?

I see by Gromits photo one of the stops bolet into another bracket on the out rigger, there is a hole in your chassis so that bracket may have broken off.

These may be of help.

Just checked mine and it's in the same position as yours.
The one on the scrap chassis must have been replaced at some point and mounted on top.

Whats the best way to cut cross member? I shouldn't say cut because I am planning cut the side that is rusted and put a new plate.
Grinder? Plasma cutter? Is there a place that I can hire a plasma cutter? Thanks

A 100mm angle grinder with a 1mm cutting disc, works quite well. Just make sure that the sparks don't land on anything flammable, or on glass,

Cheers Charlie

I bought a chinese handbag plasma cutter , this exact model, for $185

best thing ever for Landy chassis , cuts like butter, plugs into 10Amp 240v outlet and just needs compressed air . For that price its not worth hiring. Also cuts alloy sheet.

its says cuts 10mm , thats a stretch , 6mm is about it , but fine for what I need.
