Line shaft supports

Hi Guys
I have just started to build a workshop with the usual pulley driven tools
I want to run line shafting high along the back wall. I already have a length of Markle (I think)shaft and supports which will fit nicely bolted to the wall, but I need another set of supports to joint to it. I want cast supports not pressed steel any brand will do but they need to be 70mm from the bottom of the legs to the centre of the rod hole. If they are a little short I can space them. Mamod would work but they are too long. I think Bowman do something suitable or of course Markle. I have included a photo of what I have at the moment. If anybody can spare something suitable at your price please
Regards
Brian

About an inch too low, but perhaps you could make them work for your project somehow?

Pretty easy to shove a roller bearing or a bushing in these, and they´re dirt cheap good quality castings

The ones Jan linked to being too short, just means that they can be easily blocked up to the needed height. Perhaps all your really need do however, is get a longer shaft for the setup you already have!?!?

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the suggestion , however for some reason on my Ebay page printed in red a few times here and there it says "does not ship to UK". I really want a couple more brackets to keep the friction down over a fairly long run.
