R 80G/S top tube bracket info

[mavis cruet]

Hi all. I recently got myself an 83 g/s which is tired but fairly original - apart from all the top tube brackets have been removed. These are the ones that hold all the electrical gubs. I was wondering if anyone had some good pictures, or knew where to find good pictures, of said brackets so I that could fabricate some up. Ideally with some measurements and also the thickness of the steel. Thanks in advance…

Karl.

Mike I'm curious....
My 87PD actually built Jan 86, is same as your early one. When did later ones start ?

Ya got me there,
I was just comparing the 4 G/S bikes and frames currently sat in front of me and assumed one was earlier than the others as it was slightly different.
I’ve just looked again and I’ve got it arse about
The one I described as early is a factory PD
Registered 85

Cool, thank you. So will they be the same as my 1994 r100gs, (except for the vertical front one).??
