Hi there, does anyone know of anyone who is offering a rear brake bridge fixture tool for sale or have a design they are willing to share details of? I checked the sites of the usual suspects for framebuilding tools but couldnt find anything but some pretty average google images...I am certain I have seen something in the past but can’t dig up anything now.

Appreciate any leads.

Thanks,

Locky

The Henry James fixture works pretty well, especially with tailor-made bridges and will place canti bosses as well.  It works independent of, and can be bought separate from, the frame jig.

Not big on shameless self promotion but this is a tool that I make and sell.  It is a great tool IMO but since I make it that holds less merit.


I have 3 left from the last batch and to be honest it might be at least a year before I make another run.

It is both a tire clearance checker and a bridge tool.  I mostly use it for locating a bridge and holding it square.  With creativity it is a very handy device.

Locky- I use the Henry James one. Doubles as a canti boss jig. Works well
enough but one still has to do their job. A while ago I thought that Anvil
produced one, unsure though. Andy

There is an add-on for the Anvil cantilever fixture for brake bridges.

If you already use Anvil dummy axles or BBG this is the way to go.
