doing a tribute build that needs a Cook Bros style seat clamp but can't afford on as its a budget build.
Was thinking of making one out of an old stem :) its a 29mm seat clamp tho so its a bit wider inside than a stem.
Anyone had a go at anything like this before? :)

i'd have a word with animal ed.

Pm skyway67 he has his own engineering firm. After talking with him on the recent Birmingham ride he is up for making anything. :daumenhoch:

Ed if the stem looks right then you can always bore/grind out the inside to fit.

I would have thought if you bolted them together it would be pretty cheap to get a little engineering company to bore out a couple of mil. You could do it yourself, with a cheap pillar drill, but i imagine the bit alone would cost more than getting it done elsewhere :daumenhoch:
Could be a nice little moneyspinner on the bay ;)

The Helix ones are nice clamps and do look similar to the Cooks one and not a bad price either, Theres also a PL-1 to look at for style.

Although a real PL-1 is probably more expensive than a Cook Bros.

your right and more desirable IMO, not saying better though as theres nothing in them really.

Wouldn't mind both of them just so I can choose which one I would like to use.
Anyway go for the Helix Ed.

I emailed them a while back and they said they are closed now and everything is sold out.
If you do a wanted on the bmxmuseum you could probably pick one up up.
If you are going to make one an SR MS422 would probably be the one to use, right shape and cheap.
