I'm swapping the bell on my Franken F.
I have a Olds A-20 f-section, mounting to a King 606 bell.
The gap between the F-section and the bell shank is too tight for the (non-original) brace / spacer that was on the donor.
I need ones around 6.5 mm and 5.5 mm high.
The two tubes being braced are 15mm and 23mm OD.
I'm not a shop, so I can't go refer to the Allied catalog.
My options are:
1) Find something that fits from Conn-Selmer. Problem is they just list application, not dimensions.
2) Fabricate something. Problem: I don't have brazing equipment - I'd have to soft solder it.
3) Maybe someone here has something in their junk bin?
Hoping someone can help me on any one of the options above.
