I bought these at a swap meet for my 71 Commando. I have a home made set on there now but figured these are better looking. Turns out the offset is far too much. When trying to fit it to the silencer it hits the shell before the bosses bottom on the bracket and if it's fitted over the studs on the rubber mount without the silencer fitted, its close enough to the inner bracket that the heads of the bolts holding it to the silencer would bottom on the inner bracket. Not sure who made these but they were a waste of cash. Does anyone make a proper set?

That's why they were cheap at the swap meet.

I just remove 3/16" of the threaded boss height.
