RT Lifeguard iron assembly (stump pillar to guard rail brackets No 4 pillar)

We are getting some lifeguard iron assemblies made for the stump pillars in front of the rear wheels (No 4 pillar) These are the brackets that bolt to the stump pillar bracket and hold the guard rail irons in place. It's an assembly of two parts bolted together,the main plate which is swaged and a small triangular plate that fixes inside the swage.
These assemblies are often rusted away in the centre and failure means the guard rail comes adrift. The plates will be precision made with all holes drilled and rust proofed, they will be an exact replica of the LT part numbers RT 158/9 N1.

If you want a pair the cost will be £16 each or £32 for a bus set, They will be delivered free of charge in mid September if you are in the south east of England en route to , or near Manchester, if not other arrangements can be made, maybe for collection from regular posters to this Forum. Please let me if you want a pair ASAP as I need to cofirm the totals.

My bus number (if any): RTL 960 RMC 1458 RM 1585 and several RTs

Just to be clear, these are not the angles that attach to the guard rail itself, its the plate above. Look here, http://www.flickr.com/photos/34955393@N04/5794347352/in/photostream/
its the middle part
