Need custom bracket for PST

I am looking at attaching an electronic focuser to my PST and have worked out what I needed! There was a guide I saw online but the person glued the bracket to the actual PST box itself which is something I want to avoid!

I would need a custom bracket made which will sit around the black box and have two 1 1/4 inch holes for the screws. I am going to head to Bunnings in the morning to see if they have anything but pretty sure I need a custom job. Did some research on places that do custom brackets but wanted to ask here first since there are many users that are familar with the PST and may have modded there own ones.

Below is an image I created on the computer of something I need.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!

Bracket

Hi Stefan,

What are the dimensions of the U-shaped bracket you need?

Hi Peter.

Oh sorry I forgot to put the dimensions up!

Length around 106 mm, 54 mm wide and around 70-75 mm high with 2 x 1 1/14 inch holes to align up with the ones on the PST box.

Thickness of the metal not sure. Whatever would be enough to hold the PST which will be on on a tripod.

Started to look at putting an electronic focuser on my PST again.

Does anyone here make custom brackets or know a person who makes them?
