Do you want one of the spare UK units?
I could relay it to you?
It will be £40 + your postage

Not without a great deal of extra work, let’s be clear though, there is no chance the battery will break as stated above, I’m sure Turricann meant to say battery cover though.

Even still if you look at the way the battery cover is mounted I would completely disagree that it would break.

If you wanted to incorporate those screws then you should also add material down to level of the channel where the screw holes are, if you don’t then any movement between the parts will like cause thread damage.

It’s possible, I’ll have a think about how to make it work.

You are right defiantly wouldn't damage the battery or the battery or cover as its connected in the groove on the battery, on my rail 9.8 2021 if those screws are not in the cover does flap about 2-3mm causing rattling.
I am sure you could just use some double-sided tape to hold it in place, my preference was to incorporate into the bracket so it's held like the oem.

by the way, because of people dropping out and not paying, I am £160 out of pocket on this, so if you have friends who want one of these brackets, please do let me know.

Hi
I haven't seen that the part was ready and you needed your payment.
Really sorry for that.
Sorry for all your troubles.
Is there still Anny left or is they all gone.?

You are in Norway. You can either arrange directly with Aaron M for him to make one and ship it to you or you can have the remaining one left in the batch being shipped to the Uk. It will cost you £40 plus shipping from UK to Norway.
 
I have no clue. There is no organization on this size of the ocean. If someone wants to let me know what to do. Otherwise just let me know who to pay
 
If I were you I would message the other US members and ask them to pay you so you can pay Arron who will then ship to you for you to then distribute in the US.
 
Hi There. new here but saw a post on the facebook page - if any do become free in the UK I would definitely take one.. cheers.

Roy, thanks for your offer and I will take you up on that! I had previously offered, but I'm headed out to Moab UT tomorrow for a week or so and it appears to be crunch time on this. Happy to pay Arron 1st and venmo you the US shipping later.

I noticed that not all you US guys have the 10 posts necessary to start a PM, so I've mailed you all and Arron so you can chat. Suggested one way you could go about it, but it's upto you guys from there really.

Interesting, so the new angle bracket connects the top end of the battery directly to the downtube via the two screws? So you can still remove the battery if needed but it's a bit more of a faff. Also removes the worry of losing the keys!

Anyone in the UK making the brackets? If not, might give it a go but will have to get the right size thread tap.

put slots in the plate and a capture plate with the threaded holes in behind it slots will allow for dodgy alighnment capture plate will pull it all snug, just like in an spd shoe
 
i run a company called bicycle manufacturing m current thing is servicing gen 4 s and modifying motors so they weigh about a kilo less than stock would be an easy job to knock up battery plates utterly surprised no one with a 3d printer is making a plastic part with slots and a capture plate i just basically did a rough 3d cad model im going to stick it in my mrs powerfly see whats occuring if its groov im going to knock something up for my focus and Sam

You can make a gen 4 Bosch a kilo lighter?
 
I’d be interested in this group buy and I’m from the US but I’m new and can’t PM yet

Well I got the name for the company but changed it a few years ago when I went back doing F1 and defence work so yes it’s still exists to cover the products I sold under that name but I still have a workshop and still do bike work and own the trademarks if I wanted Toni could start up again tomorrow but it’s easier to trade under my current ltd co

How would you hold the capture plate and allow adjustment once the battery is installed in the frame?
